  • Yes, but the word rewrite implies that it would serve the same function and retain compatibility.

    If someone wrote a new implementation of the x protocol, as a drop in replacement for the existing x.org server, you might call that a rewrite.

    Wayland is an entirely different solution to the same problem. It doesn’t follow the x protocol, and doesn’t maintain compatibility with the x.org server.


  • I get why you would want that, but I think that would end up causing other weird issues. Like what happens when someone from that instance is in the middle of a comment chain? Would it cut off the thread there, or would there just be a comment missing?

    I’ll take the simple solution over no solution.
