Future of X ?

Anyone could tell me what the future is of X now Keith Packard left the
core team. I found Keith Packard quite interesting because he was really
adding value to the project. So what's next?

 

With managers like Gnome and KDE becoming more important we realy need a
better underground!!

 

So why not make the project more open? More developers and more
supporters would really add some value. Maybe it's also an idea to split
up the drivers from the project. Lets release Ati and Nvidia themselves.

 

And why is there no roadmap ? I can't find anything about Xfree 5. News
is very important to keep people's interrest in the project.

 

And maybe Keith is right. A fork or maybe should Xfree be rewriten from
scratch. X sounds very old to me and it's slow development is really
keeping desktop users away from linux. 

 

So please make this project great!
