Apparently not, though there's some question in my mind as to whether
it isn't picking up my ball and going home on someone's part after
the public fracas with Keith Packard earlier this year.

LWN has it http://lwn.net/Articles/64781/ from Slashdot:

It is not a joke.  The XFree86 core team disbanded itself, not the
project.  XFree86 remains very much alive, and I expect that the
active members of that old team will remain active.  I know I will :-)
