FWIW you can just run a Wayland compositor in a window on X. Not sure if there's a way to get it working without the root window to make it seamless, but it's still an option.
EDIT: Actually I tried it and this doesn't want to work in an instance of weston running on top of X; not sure where the failure is.
Obviously its no one's job to fix Wayland for me or anything like that, but I've literally never gotten Wayland to work on anything beyond a live distro. Now, of course, I haven't tried very hard because I have no use for it. But yeah.
Well, yes, I do. I expect X11 to be around for quite a while, possibly even longer than Wayland. Now if Wayland itself gains some of the features which keep me at X11 - network transparency (through nx/x2go) and compatibility with the kitchen sink being the most important - this might change but until such a time I will use X11, as will many others.
Funny way to ask the question, which lets me know that it's at least still a question :)
What I believe doesn't matter of course, and I get that it's probably happening whether I like it or not; but this is the worst rollout of anything I've ever seen in the Linux world, and to me just violates the heck out of at least one of "the whole points" of using Linux.
Don't break backward compatibility! (and for me, e.g don't break my x2go)
But the front page doesn't make this too clear, can anyone confirm?
