More than 2/3rds of your examples are from over 5 years ago, and one of the links is to a site that replaces its content with an image of a testicle when hotlinked from HN.

jwz is calling other people manchilds, but as someone who also had such a script on their website and also had HN blocked this way... he is the manchild who needs to grow up.
Nah I think JWZ cool. He's doing the right thing.
One of my favourite tech blogs has been shadow banned on HN for years. Sad I can't share his stuff on here.

Exactly! If you scroll to the bottom of each one, you will see that most are either a) still open, or b) abandoned (too hard or impossible), then closed as stale.

Rightly so.
One open issue has a comment at the bottom saying that the issue is fixed and was an issue with Mutter. There's no evidence to think that it was ever a "wayland" issue.
One open issue has had locked comments for 5 years. It's probably fixed but nobody has bothered to close it.
Most of rest were not actually "wayland" issues, either. Yes, someone's hobby project screen recorder might not get updated to work with wayland, but there's dozens of those, feels a bit unfair to ignore that there's alternatives.

Wayland is working as designed. The fix is to:
* design and implement a dbus protocol that does screen sharing the way you want it done
* get buy-in from all the major compositors and applications to implement your protocol themselves
I mean, should be a doddle for any serious project.
