Considering he got it past releng without issue, there's a good chance he can get it through. RedHat niggers eternally fucked and sucked, even by their own downstream, heckin love to see it.

It looks like maintains over 50 packages, including some core ones for Qt and systemd. You start banning people like that and you're going to make other maintainers mad.

That won't stop some assmad troon from trying. There are heretics within! They must be purged! Damn the short-term consequences! Don't you know the long term consequences of tolerating nazis in your midst is even worse?!

What such types never seem to appreciate is booting one long term contributor can lead to a cascade of other contributors quitting which ultimately leads to the death of the project. Or maybe they do, and would rather rule over a pile of ashes than deal with anyone less morally pure than themselves.

IBM, being IBM, would probably just try to hand maintenance over to a bunch of pajeets in that case.

Do you mean if this disclaimer shield is enough? What does the CoC say?

They can also cancel anyone who does fork it. Freedesktoparyans won

Xlibre is a fork of the Xorg Xserver, with lots of code cleanups and enhanced functionality.

This fork was necessary since toxic elements within Xorg projects, moles from BigTech, are boycotting any substantial work on Xorg, in order to destroy the project, to eliminate competition of their own products. Classic "embrace, extend, extinguish" tactics.

Right after journalists first began covering the planned fork Xlibre, on June 6th 2025, Redhat employees started a purge on the Xlibre founder's GitLab account on freedesktop.org: deleted the git repo, tickets, merge requests, etc, and so fired the shot that the whole world heard.

This is an independent project, not at all affiliated with BigTech or any of their subsidiaries or tax evasion tools, nor any political activists groups, state actors, etc. It's explicitly free of any "DEI" or similar discriminatory policies. Anybody who's treating others nicely is welcomed.

It doesn't matter which country you're coming from, your political views, your race, your sex, your age, your food menu, whether you wear boots or heels, whether you're furry or fairy, Conan or McKay, comic character, a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri, or just an boring average person. Anybody who's interested in bringing X forward is welcome.

Together we'll make X great again!

with his clitty leaking so hard there's no way this will get any traction. Just this manifesto alone screams severe mental retardation and daddy issues. No serious developer will bother putting any effort into this because it sends a message that the maintainer is an unstable schizo

That's why I cringe at anything called a "community." Once you've reified a collection of people into a group, the next natural step is rules and leaders. And then politics and purges.

Involving any of that kind of shit in software development is a recipe for a lower quality product.

The Freedesktop people admitted recently that they believe they own X11 and that no one has the right to fork it, I'm not referencing politics here, unless by "politics" you mean opinions on free software.

You mean they think they own xorg. X11 is the protocol. There were (are?) commercial X11 servers out there. They didn't even create xorg. That was forked from XFree86.

With the head dev of ArtiX having already explicitly mentioned keeping a close eye on xlibre's development, I have a feeling they might get into more direct collaboration. Support from a project like that would certainly make maintaining and developing Xlibre much more feasible.

What's really funny is that AntiX (not ArtiX) is run by literal free palestine left wing retards, they're not opposed to X11 libre.
We are entering the strangest possibilities of an unholy alliance of left wing woke tards and right wing conspiracy nuts stop hating each other enough to both go after Redhat.

You may think that, because he said Xorg, he didn't mean the protocol, but these are interchangeable terms for most people.
You don't get to own Xorg. It belongs to the X.org foundation and community. X.org literary hosts and runs Wayland and Weston Xorg is dead and we killed it. And nobody regrets it. (archive)
In fact, he closes the thread this way, "Imagine the unbelievable circumstances that had to take place for an entire community of 100 or so developers across the whole stack, to agree that x11 is a dead end and nobody be willing to ever touch it again regardless the stake they have in it."
Btw, "nobody be willing to ever touch it again", besides being a sort of doublespeak that intentionally omits the people who have agreed to touch it (OpenBSD's Xenocara team and Metux), is a double doublespeak because "never touch it again" actually means maintain it for 20 years. And actually it's just an outright lie because they were willingly working with Metux for years in his attempt to continue developing Xorg.
Also Sebastian Wick's comment under that thread "we worked hard to kill it" is very telling in two ways. First, that the goal itself was to kill X11, not to fix the Linux display stack, and second, because you don't "work hard to kill" something which is outdated and a dead end, it simply dies naturally because it can't continue.

Here's the same Jordan Petridis accidentally calling himself a nazi because he's an illiterate retard who said "Idiots complaining about X11 are one step away from a greek statue pfp and posts akin to "This is what they stole from you"
Also, finally found Metux's WW1/2 revisionism and it's just as based as I hoped (Petridis linked it in the above thread)

touché. The distinction is pretty irrelevant at this point, especially in the Linux world (and even the BSD world to some extent).
