let me rephrase this though: by not having evdev you're missing out
on user-space components that rely on it, and those are only going to
get more while maintenance of the non-evdev components will be
reduced.
One of X's strengths used to be its cross-platform support. The MIT
sample server had its weaknesses, but it ran on a _lot_ of hardware and
software pairings.
Is X.org dropping - has X.org dropped - that? Sure sounds like it.
A huge number of platforms have been dropped over the years because
there was no one running them who wanted to work on X to support them.
We're down to basically 5 platforms now (Linux, BSD, Solaris, MacOS,
Cygwin/Win32) because those are the ones that people are willing to
contribute support for, and continued support for them continues to
rely on people putting in the necessary time to make it work.
