>+This section lists current plans for removal of obsolete or deprecated

>+and continue to use these, but the X.Org Foundation and it's volunteers have

>+releases outweighs the benefits of doing so. In some cases, this is simply
>+because no one has volunteered to do continued maintaince, so if software is
>+listed here that you need, you can contact xorg@lists.freedesktop.org to
>+volunteer to take over maintaince, either inside or outside of the Xorg release
>+process.
