Are you actually familiar with the drawing model of core X?? It is completely obsolete and does not support acceleration of virtually any 2D or 3D rendering construct we take for granted for the past 30 years.

The GP was suggesting “without extensions”. Good luck with that.

I am familiar, and I think that it is mostly good; the only thing missing is direct rendering (which would be optional). (And I did not mean entirely without extensions, just to remove most of the stuff.)

(I also think modern fonts don't look nice; I want to use bitmap fonts on the screen!)
