Good point. Some comments could even be made by some AI.

As far as I understood from above web site and the discussion on GitHub
Xenocara is not really a fork, but like a collection of patches to adapt
X11 to OpenBSD. As far as I remember from a discussion on GitHub there
used to be some Linux variant of Xenocara, but I am not completely sure
that I recall this correctly at the moment. There was a bit more to the
discussion than that, but I do not recall what it was.
