X11 Server Development Pace Hits A Two Decade Low
 By Michael Larabel, 30 December 2022
 - https/www.phoronix.com/news/XServer-2022-Development-Pace

"It shouldn't be news to you that most of the corporate-backed 
 developers working on the Linux desktop are no longer investing in 
 new feature work around the X.Org Server and have shifted their 
 efforts to a Wayland-focused environment moving forward. In looking 
 at the Git statistics for the X.Org Server over the course of 2022 
 it shows how the development has pulled back dramatically and now 
 at a two decade low for the commits and code changes. 
 
 While Mesa's development has been very vibrant this year, the X.Org 
 Server development pace has continued pulling back greatly from its 
 late 00's and early 10's highs. 
 
 This year saw just 156 commits to the xserver Git master branch, 
 down from 331 last year and well off the highs of 2,114 as the most 
 ever back in 2008. This jives with the downward pace over the past 
 decade of the number of new commits continuing to slide. But it's 
 not just on a commit basis but in overall code churn, 2022 was 
 another low for the X.Org Server. With the 156 commits this year, 
 there were just 3,618 lines of new code added and 888 lines 
 removed.... Compared to last year with its 331 commits seeing 31.4k 
 new lines and 179k lines removed." ...
