So far testing does a good job:
rd@b370:~$ rmadison xserver-xorg-core|cut -f 1-2 -d '|'
xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.12.4-6+deb7u6
xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.16.4-1
xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.16.4-1+deb8u2
xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.19.1-4
xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.19.2-1+deb9u2
xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.19.6-1
xserver-xorg-core | 2:1.20.0-2
rd@b370:~$
and as far as I understand #900316 holds it back.
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xorg-server

Certainly, testing relies on some users running unstable, otherwise testing
would not work.
I did not want to imply that apt-listbugs would have helped you here, I just
gave it a recommendation for a tool which helped me sometimes in the past
(certainly not always).
Kind regards
