There are no plans to add back exactly what X11 provided. With that
said, there are application features that currently depends on such X11
functionality, but there are most likely options for how to implement
them that aren't as invasive with less security implications. However,
how exactly one would implement things and what protocol would
potentially be needed must be determined on a feature-by-feature basis.
