Comment on Comparison of X Window Managersparent

Sure, and Linux will remove support for 32bit applications any time now :-].

Also since it got open sourced (properly), there are more people using Motif applications nowadays than 10 years ago. And there are other toolkits that target X outside of Athena and Motif.

And besides, "removed"? Removed from where? Xorg is just a historical name nowadays, what was called Xorg is a bunch of independent packages and the X server is a package by itself. The only way "removed" would apply here is removing the Wayland backend from the X server. Which isn't impossible, but after all the work that went into it, doesn't make sense.
