I have thought about it.
There are really two phases to this:
1) Maintain a fork of the 4.3.0 tree for builds and bug fixes for a few
months.
2) Work in parallel on autotooling the Cygwin/X build so we can build on
the xserver tree on freedesktop.org. This is more of an experimental
setup. It will require a lot of work and won't be ready for some time.
I don't want to get into all of the details right now... I am still
thinking about this.
Thanks for your insight,
Harold

Harold,
It just makes sense, considering everything else is hosted there as
well. CGF has made offers in the past to host serious projects' code,
I'm sure Cygwin/XFree86 qualifies.
It saddens me to see that we cannot get the time of day from the XFree86
people. Shame on them for that!
Cheers,
Nicholas
