I remember in the time of XFree86 when you needed to use those event 
devices in the config, the drawback was when USB keyboards appeared, 
they tended to get a new event device id each time you re-plugged them, 
but lucky me, XFree86 had fixed that and you didn't have to configure it 
anymore. This was a good think when my mouse middle button broke, all I 
had to do was disconnect the old mouse and plug in the new, no need to 
restart X11. Xorg just keeps on evolving to make it simpler for the user.

You can always for of Xorg the same manner as they forked of XFree86.

Will not happen, Xorg is a multi platform, not like RedHat's Gnome3+.
