Clutter is not part of X, so I have no plans involving it (and honestly I
don't really know anything about it). Toolkits are generally handled by
the higher level desktop software - GTK for instance is part of the GNOME
software delivered by the Desktop consolidation.

X code comes mostly from X.Org - code from the GNOME community goes through
the Desktop consolidation.

We maintain some old libraries in X for binary compatibility that are not
in current upstream versions (either because they dropped them or never had
them). Right now that list includes:
libdga
libdps/libdpstk/libdpstkXm
libowconfig
older versions of libXaw
Since they're needed for binary compatibility, we have no plans to remove them.
We also ship libXtsol, the library for the Trusted Extensions to the window
system, which is part of the Trusted Extensions support we plan to merge
upstream at some point.
