I think Wayne's point is that X.org is providing a 'good enough' solution
for the majority of its users. And it is improving at an acceptable rate.
When I say majority, I'm talking about those who are just looking for a
good web browser, mail user agent and word processor. Most of these
people don't need a wiz-bang render engine.
For the things that X is good at, it's doing a fine job. There are always
room for improvements, and when those improvements arrive, the group that
brought it about should be praised. I think, ultimately, that's what
Wayne was trying to do. And isn't that the FOSS way?
