X.org and XFree86 Reform as a Single Group

In a press conference held today at LinuxWorld 2004 in New York, members of the old X consortium, some members of the disbanded XFree86 core developer group, and Havoc Pennington of freedesktop.org announced that X.org and XFree86 have essentially merged, and that the reformed group is working together to bring “not just more eye candy but new functionality” to the X server for Linux and Unix. Our Take: We wonder what this means for Keith Packard’s X implementation hosted at fd.o. Update: Apparently the above is not accurate, only a few (one?) developers joined X.org.
