I wonder why they don't like XGL, it's under an open source license, Novell just did the development, what's wrong with that?

From the article:

XGL is a different X server. This is a more incremental change which is slated to become part of Xorg. We don't believe that replacing the entire X server is the right path, and that improving it incrementally is a better way to modernize it.

It's a different project with a different purpose.
