On the other hand, OpenBSD is alive and has it's own heavily patched Xorg called Xenocara and they most likely won't let that go. So maybe porting Xenocara to linux is a better way to go.

I cannot imagine OpenBSD will give up it's special Xenocara.
OpenBSD kept it's own specially patched Apache 1.39 for years to keep Apache
within the base OS. The newer Apache 2 license was unacceptable for base
OS requirements.
I cannot confirm this, but rumor has it that Theo, the forker of OpenBSD
from NetBSD uses FVWM, so I would bet that even though Wayland is being
brought in, Xorg as Xenocara will be here to stay.

I like FVWM because I can pretty much do whatever I want to take the
time to think up and make it happen. I just can't do that with the other
WM's I like.
Also, it's lightweight, which is a must.
