This statement continues to sound like its trying to become self-fulfilling.
Xorg releases still happen (I'm not going to get into a debate about what is "well" maintained)
As many people move to Wayland those interested in X long-term should be given the space to do so, and statements like this set out to prevent it.
It's even a case of "protest too much" -- saying it over and over means that probably it isn't true.
