Priorities. OpenLook and X are more important that NeWS right now.
Also - X keeps changing. (and getting faster).

And when Sun does come out with a "default" window system, it will be
OpenLook. Since they have two X/OpenLook window managers, (olwm - X
based, and pswm - NeWS based), they might default to the fastest
window manager, instead of the more flexible one.
