Sven,
Or outsiders who knew (or thought they knew) a little about past internal quarrels but don't know what this signifies in terms of those quarrels.
It is part of a restructuring that has moved XFree86 technical and development discussions into a more open environment. That started early in 2003 when this list was made into a public list. The core team was the only remaining closed technical/development group. With its disbanding, all of the technical/development discussions happen here or on one of the other public XFree86 lists.
In the future, as the need arises, we may use a taskforce model to bring together concentrated groups of developers to drive specific tasks forward. The old "technical core team" model, with its fairly static composition, did not work well for this sort of thing. A good example is that what was effectively the taskforce for the design phase of XFree86 4.0 in 1997-1999 had quite a different makeup from the then core team.
