This post from the founder of #GhostBSD is about more than #XLibre replacing Xorg. Eric Turgeon is also writing about what the project needs to do to survive, and the problems with fatigue, as well as the lack of development from MATE and his thoughts/reluctance about needing to code in Objective C for the Gershwin DE, which could be the future environment for the project.
tl;dr: More people are needed to keep the project alive

@rl_dane @spaceraser @peteorrall have you looked at #ChimeraLinux which has a #freebsd userland? You can get #xlibre for it if needed too.
Maybe I should switch to GhostBSD 🤔
