Nothing personal, but aren't you rather confusing the Open Group and the XFree86 Project Inc? XFree86 is primarily developed and distributed by the XFree86 Project Inc. The code is, of course, derived from that of the Open Group. But, it does not necessarily mean that the latest release from the XFree86 always matches the latest release of X11. In fact http://www.camb.opengroup.org/tech/desktop/x/r6.4doc/relnotes/relnotes.htm mentions XFree86 3.3.1 which was released in Aug. 97 and is based on X11R6.3pl2. You had better check out the XFree86 web site: http://www.xfree86.org/ rather than the Open Group's, for the latest information and status of XFree86.
