Quite. I know the people involved, have worked with them, and the 
consensus from the industry is that X11 is dead. It gets attention when 
a CVE appears, and when things break on XWayland, but X11 is dead. 
Wayland is not X11, and the world has moved on. It's impossible to do 
ssh forwarding with any reliability, xhost doesn't work as you'd expect, 
etc. The entire _model_ is obsolete and the Big Players do only as much 
as needed to keep legacy stuff working up until it gets rolled over into 
a big k8s thing.

Anyway all I was saying is that maybe instead of hanging on to how 
things were done in 2004 it might be more useful to make sure than 
things like ssh from Windows Terminal or whatever work without too much 
finagling.
