From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Your quote describes literally the exact same thing that Fedora KDE 40 does. Yes, they wanted to go further and remove the Xorg bits already, but that got rolled back.
The KDE packaging team is no longer packaging Xorg, but the GNOME team is. The “re-upstreaming” is a completely different effort with no guarantees on bugs. In addition, the package providing Xorg support in KDE is to be marked obsoleted and will be removed when upgrading. Here’s the actual ruling:
GNOME Xorg still has full support from the team that has always worked on GNOME, unlike Plasma’s Xorg on Fedora 40.
