I don't really understand why such a title has been chosen for HN. Granted, the original one is inflammatory, but this one is just wrong: there is no “Yet”, Wayland will never be a 1:1 compatible Xorg replacement, and is not intended to be.
Wayland has a different approach when it comes to security, which makes it much less flexible in order to increase user security. It has evolved a in way to allow as much legit things as possible, but it will never be 100% compatible with what Xorg offered, by design!
