Please change Xenocara's upstream to xlibre.
Xfree86 and Xorg are no longer maintained and Wayland is bad for *bsd.
While I agree with the purpose of Xlibre and fully support it (minus
the IMHO completely unnecessary political language in its README), the
situation is not as simple. OpenBSD developers already maintain their
own fork of X, Xenocara, for years. It would be unrealistic to think
they would simply abandon it.
Not sure what political language you talk about? In the README here
https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/blob/master/README.md
even the last paragraph is basically what is here for years.
Focus on technical quality and not introducing political nonsense
in to it how was done by eg. Alpine Linux
Speaking as someone not familiar with the internals of both, at best
there might be cooperation to adapt Xenocara to Xlibre instead of
X.Org, sometime in the future (perhaps once X.Org is truly officially
abandoned for good?).
Otherwise you can be sure that it will go down very quickly as Unbuntu
is
leaving Xorg from 25.10 version, Gnome in 49, RHEL in 10 (yes they
support X11 protocol in Wayland). In Linux world it is for a long
time now about corporations and not about community ;-)
And every vendor is trying to make their own lockin.
