From memory, some developers were unhappy with a closed off xfree86 mailing-list related to development, it's slow progress, the coming re-licensing to something ridiculous, like a regression in licensing to include advertising clauses.
I was also elated with the energy behind the new X.org, most xfree86 developers moved with it too, many wonderful changes came out of the separation, and some churn and pain.

Yeah, I suspected the new Twitter logo is JUST A LITTLE too similar... But now I see it's as stolen as the @x username
This @x handle case reminded me that Gadu-Gadu years ago ask my friend to hand over his 4-digit number (1180) so they could use it for Solidarność promotion. He never gave it up but also GG never pester him - case was quickly closed and company pick a different number
Is this the new Twitter?
Its the really old Twitter.
Indeed really old

Anyway this energy is missing from from xorg these days, there is no corporate sponsor anymore. the project is sleeping. Which is a shame, I like X.
There is a quote.
Well we have our cathedrals of software, I think of X as one. both a relic of a forgotten age and a structure fit for modern usage. However, people appear to want to label these as "legacy systems" and tear them down.
