Comment:
> OpenBSD's version though has many layers of security and protection so I thought you would be interested in xenocara.
these "layers" come down to features specific to OpenBSD features, like usage of `pledge(2)`. There isn't really any development happening there that would be interesting to use, and xorg still pushes releases with Security fixed (last one was a month ago).
Every fix in xenocara that might be interesting for us will end up in upstream, OpenBSD doesn't see xenocara as a fork.
so a) Xorg isn't fully abandoned yet
and b) xenocara doesn't provide any benefits for linux.
