Personally i like the idea of being able to access remotely using an X Server.. Could this feature be ported to current Win32k implementation after Arwinss is deprecated?

Makes sense. And once the real subsystems are compatible and stable enough, then the arwinss branch could be relegated to an addon. An addon that could be used on both ReactOS and Windows. It's a stopgap solution, but one that would have uses after it is replaced.

Current win32 subsystem progress is too slow. We need something now before

One of the main things that's holing us back and stopping new devs from
getting involved is out lack of compatibility and stability.
If we have a drop in replacement which is much more compatible and stable
then the current one, then I think it's wise to use that whilst the real
implementation is continued alongside.
Surely this will give you the freedom to get architecture done without
worrying about breaking things?

No, not even, not in the light of day, shall this ever be part of trunk!
Separate project maybe, perhaps or will be a new project altogether!
Leave our trunk alone and keep working on ArWinSS where it is or make
it's own home on ReactOS.org.
I'm @ wk and had to comment on this,
