That doesn't mean it's any good. Or that they're right.
"The people in the best place to decide decided" is a hugely fallacious argument. You can say that about any controversial change to anything and dismiss any argument out of hand with that.
- MBCook 3y agoI’m going to assume they know better than random people do. Simply because they have the experience. But thats not all I was really trying to get. Also: that there are no major Xorg developers left. All the ones that knew that weird massive codebase moved over to Wayland. If a whole bunch of developers wanted to pick up Xorg and fix its issues and move it forward (no one has yet) they have a very very deep hole to dig himself out of it just understanding how everything that’s there works and how fragile it is.
