    Gnome and KDE are not doing the same thing.

    KDE will continue to offer an X11 session for the time being:

    Current status: Plasma’s X11 session continues to be maintained.

    Gnome will disable the X11 session in the next release and then remove the code:

    The most likely scenario is that all the X11 session code stays disabled by default for 49 with a planned removal for GNOME 50.
