Nevertheless most Unix systems are likely to remain using X11 because too
much existing software expects it.
If there is some useful feature that only works on some operating systems
and the feature is deprecated & removed for that reason, then we shall all
be forced to use only features that work on he lowest common denominator
of operating systems (no names, no pack drill, but some of us choose
operating systems that lie above any such lowest common denominator for
the good reason that they are better operating systems, and we do not like
being held back by enforced compliance with "bad" oftware.
