There must be a name for this phenomenon where an upgrade breaks most things. Haha. Reinvention?

  Cascade of Attention-Deficit Teenagers. Instead of solving a bug, rewrite everything from scratch and close all the bug reports of the previous, now obsolete, system. Wayland is a clear-cut example of that. Oh, mixed-resolution does not work well in X? Alright, let's rewrite everything from scratch. Of course, new bugs will appear, but then you can iterate the process to close them!

    Wayland already provides a less buggy and more polished experience than X did for me. So I'd say job well done.
