I’m fairly certain that the plan is to jettison X before next RHEL release. So if your cases are not resolved, and we’re looking at decades by now, then it’s going to get “interesting” at that point.
So they make Gnome X-less, then debian will incorporate that, then other DEs will get less attention, etc… It will go downhill fast from there on.
- JohnFen 3y agoI don't use RHEL or Gnome, so I can ignore them for now. I've begun the process of moving all of my machines away from Linux and to BSD anyway. While I have so many that the effort will probably take a couple of years to complete, perhaps I can complete it before I really get bit by this issue. Or, worst case, I'll just stop updating and keep everything frozen on a version that meets my needs

I'm not seeing the progression there; of course I can easily imagine GNOME dropping X support, and sure Debian isn't going to patch it in (probably), but... so what? Nothing about that affects other DEs/WMs.
