I don’t agree that what we need is better Xorg. Xorg was a client-server based display server design from back when bitmapped displays and their respective UIs were in their infancy. And although it was certainly good for a time, I really think the idea of client-server UI has aged about as well as Polio. Even at the time it was computationally expensive (especially compared to say, Windows basically just jamming the UI into the kernel) but now it’s just crufty, inefficient, and weird. I don’t think there are many design decisions from X11 that you really want to keep anymore. Seriously, dig into the X11 protocol, what would you want to keep? If you want it to be feature compatible, a lot of cruft is going to need to come along for the ride. There are some aspects of X11 that aren’t so bad, especially more recent bits. Personally, I think XI2 is relatively nicely designed. But on the whole, I just don’t think what we want is better Xorg.
