> Wayland has a design such that if things don't work for you today we have a hope that we can make it work for you in the future.
The reason we hate Wayland so much is that X is being killed off now, with things only ever maybe working again in the future. Wayland would be way better if the people behind it added support for all of the missing features and use cases first, and only then killed off X.
You are welcome to naintain x if you want. However there is a reason nobody wants to. Wayland is not perfect but it is a lot easier to maintain.
I thought the whole point of the repo in the original link was that somebody does want to maintain X.
Right, and I wish them luck. Though signs point to this person not being a good mainainer - breaking basic features and so on. Maybe this is needed to get into a long term better place though.
