No one wants? XOrg developers started Wayland, they don't want to work on XOrg anymore. Red Hat does not need anymore.

  One X.org developer started Wayland and some (but not all) others joined. In any case, i wasn't referring to X.org developers - i explicitly mentioned that they do not want to maintain it anymore. I was referring to those who want to see it continue existing in one way or another.

    Ah, I red "fork" as in ffmpeg-libav case, it is not what you meant, I would say "contribute". I am too surprised by critique. Anyone can contribute to X.Org [1], maybe there are no stable releases but it works, have active contributors [2] and recent commits [3] [4]. Wayland lives, ten years ago it was demo, now it has a lot of compositors [5], wlroots shared among many projects.

      Yes but contributing without having proper releases that distros can grab and distribute doesn't help much.
