If it is generally true that the bulk of the folks working on this space in Linux genuinely believe that Wayland is the "future" and X needs to be deprecated, they really need to put up or shut up. I'm not aware of what's going on behind the scenes, but it's painfully obvious that someone was entirely too confident on this whole deal.
It's just very surprising considering how well Linus' philosophy of "never break things backwards" holds up over time, and that the Wayland people appear to have nearly entirely missed this.
