X11: Where do we go from here?

We already have xlibs, xserver (now with 100% more interesting bits) and xapps
at freedesktop.org. Some people still like twm, so we'll import it.

The general attitude is that we generally import stuff which people are willing to
take responsibility for (obviously this changes for things like XFree86 drivers),
so if someone stands up for twm, we'll import it.

[snip] if someone stands up for twm, we'll import it.

So if someone doesn't stand up for twm, then there will be no default window manager?

Well, it won't be twm ... we don't have a default per se, right now.

Well, it won't be twm ... if no-one stands up for it and imports it.
