This Valentine's Day there is a lot of red on the screen for the X.Org Server with the code delta as a result of renaming of their main Git development branch and in the process selectively dropping questionable patches to the prior "master" codebase.

The effort noted in January of [1]X.Org Server May Create A New Selective Git Branch With Hopes Of A New Release This Year has now been realized. As of a short time ago today, the "master" Git branch is ended with new X.Org Server development now on "main" and in the process starting off from a starting point of 2024 and then laying on the acceptable patches that were queued up over the past two years. See that aforelinked article for more details.

[2]This patch has marked X.Org Server's "master" branch as now closed and superseded by the main branch.

The X.Org Server main Git branch can be viewed [3]here for those interested. That branch is now in a cleaned-up state without many of the patches accumulated that were deemed questionable and then later reverted.
