The X server contains lots and lots of crufty old code going back to the 1980s that nobody uses and nobody (including the X developers) wants to maintain, but is required to claim to be an X server. One option is:
1) Move all the useful modern stuff out to the Linux kernel and separate libraries. 2) Make all the crufty old stuff a separate piece dynamically loaded only when necessary. 3) Make a new minimal library to allow all the useful stuff from X to be used as efficiently and maintainably as possible. That is what the X developers are doing, and that new library is called Wayland. So what do you think? Accurate enough? Likely to cause fewer people to panic? -- "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing.
