Hi all,
To close the loop here, both @defolos and @x3mboy reaffirmed ownership of i3 packaging and Spin curation for the F45 Release Cycle[1]. The migration from Pagure.io to Forgejo is now beginning[2]. So, for the foreseeable future, the i3 Spin will continue to produce ISOs at or around Fedora Release Days each cycle. Thanks @defolos and @x3mboy for taking up the responsibilities! 🙏🏻🎉
@Michael: A conversation about the longevity of the X11 stack as a whole is off-topic for this thread. It would be a better discussion to have on-list in a different thread. Based on what both Dan and Eduard said, the implicit understanding is that as long as Fedora ships X11 as an available package, the work will continue for i3 packaging and curating the i3 Spin. Eduard already mentioned in the Fedora Discussion topic that he has some ideas for improvements to work on in the Spin. If Fedora no longer packages X11, I am sure everyone involved will revisit the situation then.

Folks, this conversation is about *the Fedora i3 Spin*. An endless debate about X11 vs. Wayland is not relevant here. If you are someone passionate about either stack, this is a great opportunity to get involved and contribute to keeping it alive. Otherwise, please take the X11 vs.
Wayland
discussion to a user forum somewhere else, as it is not relevant to the original topic in this thread. Thanks.
Exactly.
I may have triggered this with my remark on X11, whose sole intent was:
How long are we ging to support the X11 stack as necessary for i3? It's relevant because it might become a technical liability for anyone wishing to maintain i3, probably shared with other folks wishing to maintain X11-dependent packages.

Also, can you please detail these features further? I would like to get a baseline of what is expected out of UI libraries, so that if I chose to write one, I'll know what to add. Thanks.
