I think most of the subscribers to this mailing list are more interested in getting there technical issues resolved and I think by and large that has been happening.
So for most of us nothing changes.

This is an invitation for anyone and everyone with an interest in X, XFree86, and related technologies and their future to participate in a public and open discussion. Any topics are open to discussion, from those related to administrative and management issues through to technical issues.
A new mailing list has been created to provide an open forum for this discussion. To subscribe, go to <http://www.xfree86.org/mailman/listinfo/forum/>. The list is unmoderated, and you don't need to subscribe to the list in order to post to it. An archive of the list is available at <http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/forum/>. This announcement has been blind-copied to all of the XFree86 public lists, but please send followups to the new [EMAIL PROTECTED] list.
It has been brought to the attention of the XFree86 Core Team that one of its members, Keith Packard, has been actively (but privately) seeking out support for a fork of XFree86 that would be led by himself. He is also in the process of forming a by-invitation-only group of vested interests to discuss privately concerns he has about XFree86 and the future of X. He has consistently refused to even disclose these concerns within the context of the XFree86 Core Team, which makes his membership of that team unviable. As a consequence, Keith Packard is no longer a member of the XFree86 Core Team.
The leaders of the XFree86 project feel that discussing the future of XFree86 and related technologies within a closed group of vested interests is contrary to the spirit of openness and community involvement that many of those vested interests claim to espouse. Instead, the involvement of everyone in a truly open discussion is welcomed by The XFree86 Project, and we invite everyone to express their thoughts, opinions and concerns freely in this open forum. We look forward to hearing and responding to them.
The XFree86 Project BOD
