This should end up being a good thing unless they badly botch the reoganization. The Core Team had been nothing but a delaying level of bureaucracy in the last few years.

My understanding is that the Core Team have done little real work recently, but they still had to approve all changes. This caused the development to get massivly delayed because changes submited to XFree86 group where not being applied. Some changes where left sitting for more then 6 months, which is simply unworkable for a project as dynamic as XFree86. At that rate changes to add a new video card might not be added till the card is obsolete.
