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. -- Kaleb KEITHLEY X Consortium
