The community doesn't really have a say because Xorg is effectively on life support and the Xorg devs are now working on Wayland. There aren't many people in this world who could keep Xorg going. Some distros are sticking to Xorg, but it will become more and more difficult in the coming years.
People keep saying Xorg will stop working, but it has yet to turn into a pumpkin, so I dunno man.
Can it do new things? Eh, probably not. Do I need it to do new things? Not really.
