That's fine. Except there don't seem to be enough such people, for X11,
at least, to continue working on it.

The only danger to X11 is that RedHat will probably remove it from its
distros, and most or all other Linux distros will follow suit. In the
meantime, who knows what else RedHat will drop support for, for no reason
other than "old software bad."

Fortunately, the BSDs will continue having X11, and they haven't been
wrecking their OSes like the Linux community, so that could be a viable
alternative.
