I found some interesting commentary about X11 in the dogecoin subreddit:

Sigh what a pity. Both Doge and Litecoin are embracing ASICS. And the centralisation of mining power to people who need to turn a profit quickly just to keep mining. It's really sad actually. Even if they make it through arrival of the titan and whatever comes next what made them a community to begin with is gone - everyone mined a few doge with readily available tech around the world and thereby understood how it all works.
Been actively pushing for Doge to go X11 or at the very least anything other than ASICS.
Would be great for both Doge and Dark I believe.
Yep exactly. Embracing ASICs is the worst possible move DOGE can make. DOGE is supposed to be a fun, newbie friendly, tipping coin - specifically targeted at people that are new to crypto and excited at the chance to mine a few thousand coins on their laptops and gaming gpus. All these people over on /r/dogecoin spreading fear about a simple hard fork are either retarded/uninformed or are invested heavily into ASICs (more likely the ladder). Oh well, in the end it will probably be great for DRK, because there will be throngs of GPU miners looking for somewhere to go, and this will coincide with the dead heat of the summer in the northern hemisphere (making x11 the obvious winner). More DRK miners = lower supply = higher DRK price. I started mining DOGE on day 1 and really like their community so it is kinda bitter sweet tbh. :/
