I fully expect people to keep using a broken Xorg, not move into wayland, and not fork and keep it updated.

But the devs are free to do whatever they want. No opinions there. I wouldn't want to maintain Xorg either.

Totally, nothing in Linux land ever truly dies. Someone, somewhere will surely fork it once it is never updated anymore. But I wouldn't want to be that person either.

If somebody was willing to do this, xorg would still be maintained.

xorg is actually legitimately so terrible to work on that nobody is interested in doing this who actually knows how xorg works.
