I have the same questions Yuri has... I've always seen Wayland 
enthusiasts saying they can't stand X11 no more, but I've never seen 
them explain what's wrong with it.
N.B. I'm not implying nothing is wrong, I just wish they explained their 
point.

Fine, I agree with this.
So, in what ways is Wayland better?





That said, I have nothing against having Wayland support by default.
I'm still ssh-ing into remote boxes to run graphical applications and I 
don't want to see this go away... but I read this is not going to happen 
(yet?), so it's fine to me.
