Steve,

Yup, saw the announcement, but there is no information on how it 
actually affects the operation of XFree86.  It won't mean much of 
anything if they have just stopped using their closed mailing list.  If, 
on the other hand, they are going to open up development to developers 
that make meaningul contributions, then it will really shake things up.

I'm not going to speculate about which of these is actually happening.
