IMO, without some fork of X11, whether Xlibre or some other, I expect non-Wayland users will increasingly suffer. X11 bugs not reproducible in Wayland already get no attention.
I suspect this is a better lifeline: https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/03/wayback_wayland_display_server/
Short version: it's a compatibility layer running as a Wayland display server that allows desktop environments without Wayland support to run correctly under XWayland. No non-code baggage, and it already has a distro of middling significance (Alpine) backing it. I also get the impression that the codebase is relatively small, making it a lot less work to maintain.
