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
