The way I see it, Wayland will implement interfaces that make sense the way things are now. Compared to X, development will be quicker (because deprecated interfaces won't be implemented), and the code will be cleaner and more secure. We'll have a generally-working system, with a couple little warts, here and there.
The way I read the previous post, with its mention of "second-system thinking", is that X is currently just about good enough for just about everything, and that while 90% of the necessary features will fit cleanly into Wayland, it's the last 10% that will introduce 90% of the ugly complexity, and take man-centuries to realize the need for, and then produce.
