      Might want to steer clear of xlibre:

        The BSD’s are embracing xlibre, so it is a project that’s being taken seriously and has real technical merits.

      Considering they have an active GitHub repo, likely recently. Even more so with the BSD’s incorporating it as a default.

      They’ve already been patching those before X.Org got those updates. I use XLibre myself, so I’d know about it anyway.
