No, I didn't. Either because this was so long ago that we didn't have any 
choice back then (only X and nothing else available at the time), or I didn't 
notice it.

However, my question was more about: What is our position about Xlibre, facing 
the fact that Wayland seems to be still neither universally accepted, nor the 
undisputed standard or state-of-the-art despite being around for way more than 
a decade now.

Again: No hard feelings! I'm only curious about the choices we make, and why. 
And I'm perhaps one of the few users not following the mainstream (OpenRC/X). 
So I'd like to be able to defend our decisions.
