Let's not go spreading disinformation.

Both Fresco and LBX in R6 were "work-in-progress", not "experimental."

At no time were either advertised as being usable for anything other 
than for further development.

Fresco and LBX are still under development, and LBX is now at a state
where it's usable. In fact I use it all the time, including right now
as I compose this reply.

Someday Fresco may be back in an X Consortium release, but in the mean
time it's being developed as a separate release. LBX will be in the
next X Consortium release under a different name.
