I think the main thing holding Wayland back are older drivers which don't work well with it and impact on things like games. Once its over that hump there isn't much reason for maintainers to suffer two back ends any more.
Wow!! What a news! :)
Wayland should have been the HotNewShit© that the crazy people use, and everything learned from that experiment should have become the ACTUAL next thing everyone uses.
Pushing wayland like it is now was a bad idea.
I would have loved to wait for it's successor, but "use LTS old versions or eat shit" is apparently acceptable now.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
