Do you imply X.Org sabotaged? Issues fixed, system is stable and only maintainer stops it? You should notify disillusioned people who still commit to the repo [1].

I do not imply anything. The fact is that there haven't been any release for two years yet there is work apparently being done.

So why aren't release being made?


I would expect issues are not fixed, system is not stable.

Quite a lot of issues.


Ah yes, such classic X11 issues as Google Sign in not working [0]. Everyone knows that only Wayland is webscale enough for Google.
