@NOTimothyLottes The author has a very poor technical understanding of the project and attempted to land many "refactors" and "cleanups" which repeatedly introduced major regressions for no gain to users
His reaction to criticism was a politically charged temper tantrum that lead to his ban

@NOTimothyLottes Respectfully, I implore you to read the initial announcement for XL before making more comments on this topic. The only guy making things political is that guy, and by doing this devil's advocate thing you are just buying into his narritive.

@NOTimothyLottes The programming is bad, the people are bad and the entire project was borne out of reactionary politics.
X11 already lives forever in XWayland.
XL solves no "problem" aside from their political ones.
There is nothing XLibre can do that a Wayland compositor w/ XWayland cannot do.
The biggest changes:
- Changing version name from XX to XX + 1.
- restrict users even more.
- don't fix the issues users are addressing since years.
- More AI slop
