Nobody is voluntering to make X releases. That has been the case for almost two years I think. It used to be Red Hat guys doing it, but it's not their priority anymore.
There is a pile of new features that only exist in master with no clear path to users' computers. Notably some big VR enablement thingies commissioned by Valve and written by former X lead Keith Packard. I think freesync too.
I rely on Synergy/Barrier to use my mouse/keyboard between computers. They only support X and I am not aware of any Wayland alternatives.
As a desktop user I am currently stuck in a bad place because Wayland is not ready but the powers that be have moved on from X and don't care anymore.
Maybe Valve could pick up X release duty for a while? That'd be quite more good karma on their part, additionally to all what they've already done.
