It's rumored that Xv11 will be a officially distributed by Dec with
VMS version 5.0, in about 6 months.

(It is indeed remarkable that Dec on the east coast is talking to
 Dec on the west coast, where X is being written. I'm sure it's a
 temporary aberration. Of course, the terminals group is still 
 somewhere else entirely.)

Nope, why is it naive? There's X's (in various states of undress) all
