XFree86 Core Team Disbands

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the big-news dept.

mumumu was among the many to write with this news: "XFree86's release engineer David Dawes has announced that "a majority of the XFree86 core team has voted in favour of my proposal to disband the core team". XFree86's News Headline has a short message about it. Why, all of a sudden? What is the successor of the XFree86? Xouvert? freedesktop.org?"

    What happens when development stops and future video cards remain unsupported?

    Nobody seems to know who the core XFree86 team is, or what they do or even did and who or what is going to replace them. The whole story consists of maybe 20 lines. No answers. Nothing.

    I nominate this as Slashdot's most useless story of 2003!
