Red Hat Expecting X.org to “Go into Hard Maintenance Mode Fairly Quickly”

With the Fedora Workstation 31 feature outlook covered earlier this week, there was an interesting comment in that article by Red Hat’s Christian Schaller that deserves special coverage.A Phoronix reader pointed out the significance of one the statements in that blog post, which I hadn’t explicitly called out. So in case you didn’t read that blog post about Fedora Workstation 31, Red Hat’s Christian Schaller says it’s their belief that X.Org will soon be going into “maintenance mode” in favor of Wayland. Red Hat’s Adam Jackson has long been serving as the xorg-server release manager since Keith Packard stopped doing so when changing up his roles from Intel to HPE, etc.
