Hi Fabio,

I assume there are also at least *some* improvements (other than
XWayland improvements) in the xserver repo that are not released yet?

Yes, surely.

Could we at least get one final, last, xserver release, maybe even
with XWayland split out as a separate component upstream?

This is a twofold question, a possible xserver 1.21 version and a separate release of Xwayland upstream.

Regarding a possible xserver 1.21 release, I guess that would be up to someone upstream to step up and coordinate such a release upstream (and that wouldn't even need to be a last, final release, as long as people are willing to work on it upstream).

As for a separate release of Xwayland upstream, I think this will happen eventually.

This change here in Fedora is basically a first step forward in that direction, when upstream comes up with a separate release for Xwayland as well, our Fedora Xwayland standalone package will use that.
 
That would make this downstream change easier, and would also benefit
all other users of X (e.g. other distros that would like to do
something similar to this change proposal)

Sure.

Cheers
Olivier
