Since the BSD group got responsibility for X11, things have improved.
Kevin Van Vechten deserves much of the kudos for that.
Ben has gone above and beyond, not just on this list since the release
of Leopard, but even prior to that. He gained commit for x.org and has
been working quite openly on the Mac OS X port. He has, however, been
working alone. Like a game of hot-potato, once I passed my patches on to
Ben, I stopped looking at it. I believe the same is true of Torrey.
It would greatly ease my guilt to see others join and help in bugfixes
and improving X11 for Mac OS X :)
