it needs bits and bobs to keep working as is. last commit is an indicator but not a great one by itself.
it aint getting new support, and security patches are taking their sweet damn time. compare that with projects that support wayland. also take a look at what a lot of xorg devs have been working on.
my point this whole time is that a distro stuck on it will start to reflect that.
i feel like this isnt going anywhere so have a nice day.
