I really hate to say this, but "I told you so"... :-D
Yeah, this name change business is a bit of a pain. I hope that this
whole X11 feud gets resolved eventually, so people can get back to
harmony and cooperation rather then wasting energy and resources on
maintaining separate forks.
What are you talking about? David Dawes is having a good time working
on XFree86 by himself and everyone else is working on the X.Org project;
I don't see any energy being wasted at all.
Reason this is on-topic: The name change didn't really matter since I
waited to do it until a full release was made, at which point everyone
would have to re-download all packages anyway.
Okay, that's all the education about the X world that is on-topic for
this list.
