>lowkey trying to kill xorg
Is not lowkey, we have been killing it for over a decade.
Wayland is not a new world order project. Xorg fucking sucks for maintainers (in the past, this project was poorly maintained, and companies were allowed to merge what the fuck they want, turning xorg "the sickman of free software" and probably the most bloated piece of software "everyone uses").
/g/ refuse to understand that the people who maintained Xorg begged to replace it with something that would not follow the same mistakes of the past. It was not a coup, wayland was created in 2008 and everyone was super transparent about why xorg fucking sucks, and why we need to kill it.
Yes, some developers hated Wayland because Wayland doesn't have, and will not have, all the shortcuts that xorg had, but at less people can maintain it without needed 3 months to implement the simplest modification.
Now a small group (very noisy) who doesn't even know how to properly code such behemoth of a project (seriously, xorg is on another level) simply started to demand that we turn the clock back.
The xlibre guy was known for making silly merge requests that would break xorg, and when he decided to go full schizo, blaming the death of xorg (something that was scheduled for almost 20 years) on guys wearing skirts, he got kicked. And when he became OPENLY HOSTILE to the project, going to the length of asking people to open issues criticising things that don't even exist, he got banned.
