That's certainly one way to say "no longer developed".
- int_19h 10mo agoThat was also true back when it was actively developed though. X apps compiled a long time ago still run fine today.
- badsectoracula 10mo agoXorg is still being under development, there is another fork in development too (XLibre) and you're in the comment thread for a project about a brand new X server written from scratch. Usually things which are "no longer developed" do not have (at least) three implementations in development.
