First time I've seen 'small' being used to describe X.

  X was running on 286-class machines (that were intended as purpose-built X terminals) back in the day. The KDrive server can be compiled to fit in a few hundred KiB.

    X today is a different beast than it was 20 years ago

      And the KDrive server can still be compiled to fit in a few hundred KiB. And it's a full-featured X server. X is small, especially when you start comparing it to the sort of runtime modern devs are fond of (looking at you, Electron).

        Nothing stops you from building a very small Wayland compositor.
