- yes, that's much more like it; compare'n'contrast with sysd behaviours. The making-saner of X has been very welcome and refreshing; and look forward to it continuing. Interesting (& ~obv) that breaking into explicit modularity was a key step. What stage is work, if any, on doing likewise for the kernel (as distinct from explicitly micro-kernel &c stuff); Torvalds hisself acknowledges that it's creaky and over-complex (don't have exact quotes right here right now) and is/was likely a problem to be dealt with 'manana but soon' (or whatever the equiv would be in units of years). That kind of thing could help make it more difficult for attempted sysd-like coups like we're seeing. Yeah, Wayland/&c branch of b/lfs - could be interested in that; got X++ stuff here (in own-fmts) and 's quite easy and nice to work with.
