From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah, they lied. X being dead and full of security issues is just a FUD. Keep calm and carry on using X.
which is in fact the only productive choice one can do :) when distro will force switch, then we will see
Distros already force switch, it doesn't work as well.
I'm using debian sid and I've got no problem in using xorg until today so I'd say you are wrong :)
