He was being sarcastic yes. A neat, compact tool disappears and if there
is a replacement it'll probably be large, GUI driven, klunky and
designed to mimic Windows.

I'd not be unhappy with something like SaX, apart from that when I used
SaX, it certainly would not have generated the type of xorg.conf
(XF86Config in them days) I'd use today. Maybe SaX will handle MergeFB
or awkward Xinerama setups today, I would not know.
