I think the poster is asking if it's primarily an experiment in X extensions and 
reimplementation, or if fd.o XServer intends to compete for the same ecological 
niche as XFree86.

For example, pretend he is an OS vendor. A legitimate question of an OS vendor is 
"I've already got XFree86, but I like XServer. Is this a viable replacement?"

Replace XFree86 how?  In a specific distribution/flavor of Linux, BSD, or
Unix?  If so, you would have to ask the people responsible for that
distribution.  There are dozens of distros/OS'es distributing part or all
of XFree86, and they each decide independently what software they will want
to ship with their releases.
