We have already discussed all the pros and cons within the board taking
into account the discussions in the previous thread and talking to the
current Fedora Xorg maintainers about it. We arent going to rehash all
that right now. We have made the decision and have announced it. You are
free to host your own repository with the Xorg updates and invite others
to use it however. Thank you.
