Likely the second option, I'd expect from the company claiming
leadership on the desktop to be more active on the X.org front
especially when it needs more horsepower.
The poor man is suffering hardships, off course, he is all alone
managing the whole X stack. The sensible answer would be to ask to hire
some help, the better would be X developers, at least someone familiar
enough with X code base to provide some support. Not complaining about
the flood of bugs.
