Why don't we just make a new release ?

We've got several thousand commits since that release - and many people
directly using master branch, because there wasn't any actual release
for many years now.

That's not entirely correct. There's a lot other work been done, and
even a very long list of MRs still waiting for merge. (haven't even
started submitting new features)

But it seems, certain people here really **want** Xorg to become dead,
and do not want to see anything besides critical bugfixing and Xwayland
being merged ever.

Frankly, yes, I meanwhile really have the impression that actual goal of
this project is nothing less than slowly killing Xorg.


@Emil: freel free dig into the MR discussions (on gitlab) and see it
with your own eyes.
And freel free to test either master or my incubator branch (*1)
