Yes. The management of xorg was always a failure. They allowed too many merges, and the community would never tolerate the removal of "duplicated features".
I keep saying that xorg is extremely bloated, but people don't understand this. Is not just a /g/ insult. The codebase is trash. Years of companies doing whatever they wanted as long it compiled made xorg a nightmare.
Now they want to reduce the people working on xorg to "just solve bugs" because it's really hard to keep all this bloat from breaking every time someone ask for a merge with over 100 commits like it's nothing.
Xorg is really complex. It takes time and manpower to keep it working, and this time and manpower could be better used in wayland, which will inevitably replace xorg.
