So I have been kind of idly watching this, trying to avoid the political. Every few days i jump in, do a git pull and look at commits. Over time I have been pasting them into the IRC and chatting about it. Some are clearly like 'wow this is an obvious fix' to bugs that seem to have been long standing. papercut type bugs. Some are larger refactors and clean ups that someone who is putting a project to bed wouldn't bot…

> given all the software I use every day is built on X11

Oh? I'm curious what that is? Must be very old and/or bespoke :P

my UI workflows like i3 and dmenu, but things like a systray for moc my music player. The desktop enviroment i use (KDE3.5) is also on top so Konqueror, Kmail, etc. glue scripts and small guis i have for i3 and dmenu that give me what i need, without a rewrite. emoji insert scripts i wrote for fun, random stuff you know it just works.

That's quite a claim. I have zero interest in using or supporting such a project either way, but do you have any evidence for that?

No idea about the overall background of the project or devs, but: https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/blob/master/CoC.md

In my understanding a good chunk of the CoC dislike connects to MAGA ideology (because CoC aim at inclusivity, and we know what the MAGA position on that is).

(the standard approach to thinking a CoC is useless is probably just to not have one and not comment on it. Going out of one's way to make a statement shows something that goes further than "maybe it's useless")
