As a general rule it's usually not a good idea to use the possibility that someone else might be working on something as a reason to delay starting on it yourself. Unless, that is, you're in the loop with what is happening. I got caught out on this myself regarding functionality simliar to RandR a couple of years ago :-(. I'm not aware of anyone currently working on a rewrite of the X Input extension for XFree86. Now would be a good time for someone who is to speak up. Otherwise the discussions here should continue with the goal of solidifying how a new version of the input extension for XFree86 should look.
