But its not a next generation, not yet for this first release.


uh, SIng? Sample Implementation Next Generation...

NOTE: This suggestion is 100% sarcastic.  At this very moment, I'm pushing
thru old X.org a motion to officially and on-record cancel furthur development
on the SI code base.  (this comment is not jump-the-gun, we've been dragging
this out for months)


My preference for the binary is "Xorg" which is consistent with the current usage:
"Xdec", "Xsun", "Xvfb", "Xprint", "Xnest", also, in a wierd linguistic sense:

X(DEC) ==> Xdec

X(SUN) ==> Xsun

... but then:

X(XFree86) ==> XFree86

X(XORG)  ==> Xorg
