Yes, we still maintain Imake upstream at X.Org, but every new release for years
has had notes like:

   The X Window System used imake extensively up through the X11R6.9 release,
   for both full builds within the source tree and external software.
   X moved off of imake for its build system in 2005 for X11R7.0 and later
   releases, but still provides imake for building existing external software
   programs that have not yet converted, though we are not actively maintaining
   it for new OS or platform releases.

   Anyone shipping software still using imake to build should be working on
   moving to something that is still adding support for new platforms and
   runtimes.

as seen in https://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2024-January/061524.html

We don't even use Imake to build itself - since 2005 it has been built with
autoconf & automake, and this year I merged the changes to let it build with
meson instead:
    https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/util/imake/-/merge_requests/13

But I don't have a copy of the paper referred to in the first email in this
thread, and both the sites we link to for Imake information from the Imake
README seem to have died now:
