GNOME 49 reenables the x11-support switch for GDM because it breaks the complete X11 support in GDM, including the starters to launch X11 desktop environments
So for now, the X11 support stays in GDM until they remove it in GNOME 50

I stumbled across this article while searching for informations about the future of some X11 window managers. probonopd created a good article about the differences between Wayland and X11 and the problems with Wayland (which perhaps could be fixed in the future)
Good to see that XLibre forked the X11 server so projects depending on X11 can go on further.
