From what I understand, xorg has fundamental security flaws. How will they remedy this?
They won’t. Don’t download random shit and if you’re worried, run it in Flatpak
What happens when the Linux kernel drops support for xorg? Do they intend to fork an older version of the kernel in order to keep support?
Not really possible, since X11 is only built on top of the kernel’s graphical interface (same as Wayland). Even if that wasn’t the case, the kernel doesn’t delete any code that anybody uses (that’s why 30 year old programs still run)
While that’s true, but the main issue here is the unavailability of frequent security patches that Fedora now appears to be attempting to solve with X11Libre.

Why stick with a dead standard when the rest of the FOSS world has moved on?
