X.Org server has been abandoned
 
Last major release was May 2018

It looks like X.Org server is officially toast and a prominent Intel open source developer has admitted the software is abandonware.

Phoronix ran a story this morning with this headline: "It's Time To Admit It: The X.Org Server Is Abandonware."

It quoted Daniel Vetter of Intel's kernel graphics driver team and DRM co-maintainer saying: "The main worry I have is that xserver is abandonware without even regular releases from the main branch. That's why we had to blacklist X. Without someone caring I think there's just largely downsides to enabling features." Then again, that coming from an Intel Linux developer isn't too surprising considering it's been more than six years since the last xf86-video-intel DDX release.
