xouvert? (was Re: Cygwin/XFree86 - No longer associated with XFree86.org)

[Mitchell Skinner]

FWIW,

I read the cygwin-xfree mailing list archives from time to time, and I
just read the devel@xfree86.org thread linked from /., and it looks to
me like Harold was being pretty reasonable and was getting a terrible
response.

I followed the forum@xfree86.org discussion and the xwin.org and
xouvert.org bits, and at first I wasn't sure if the complainers had a
real beef or if the hubbub was the outcome of some bizarre historical
politics, but it's becoming clearer and clearer that the xfree86 guys
are dropping the ball.  Lots of long-time, serious contributors are all
saying the same thing; hopefully all those that have a problem with the
old system can get together and start a single new mainline rather than
splinter into a bunch of different groups.

Speaking of which, since the xouvert guys announced their intention to
fork, I've been wondering which way cygwin-xfree86 would go.  What do
cygwin-xfree subscribers think about that?
