Yes, and not sure about the rest. Freedesktop isn't some sort of paid organisation here, you have a group of volunteers running some machines tied together with a lot of bailing twine. It only recently through the good graces of Collabora that fd.o got some paid administration time directed at it at all (Tollef). Like we could migrate all the stuff to machines that X.org control but we'd end up with the same problems + another set of problems. Adam still does a lot of a/c maintenance for X.org and other projects, these will now be have to be done by part-time admin which means even longer delays on new a/cs. There is a major fd.o overhaul in the works and maybe Tollef can provide some insight into it when he has time.
