An anonymous reader writes "Phoronix has up an article looking at the release of X Server 1.4.1. This maintenance release for X.Org, which the open-source operating systems depend upon for living in a graphically-rich world, is coming more than 200 days late and it doesn't even clear the BugZilla release blocker bug. Further showing signs of problems, the next major release of X.Org was scheduled to be released in February... and then May... and now it's missing with no sign of when a release will occur. There's still more than three dozen outstanding bugs. This forthcoming release (X.Org 7.4) will also ship with a slimmer set of features than what was initially planned. What can the Linux community do to improve this crucial part of the OS?"
