I completely agree. Some interesting factoids:

1. Arch already has Wayland in its official repositories.

2. KDE already has preliminary support

3. Intel is driving Wayland development, so integrated cards will likely work without a hitch

4. Systemd was another large change with lots of FUD, and it's already default in high-profile distros (OpenSUSE, Fedora and soon RHEL 7). Even Canonical's on board.

This article is mostly FUD. I think we'll see a relatively stable KDE on Wayland this year. I doubt the Wayland team is that optimistic, but it's moving at an incredible pace.
