  Or, users could stay on the perfectly fine X, and anyone who wants to push for Wayland adoption can put in the effort to make it not a regression.

    Users are at the mercy of developers. If you want to stay and care about maintenance, you’d better hope someone is there maintaining it.

      In that sense they're even more at the mercy of packagers. There's nearly 400 million repositories on Github alone; the pain point is curating those into a coherent system.

        Im not sure how many million of those are required to run gnome on x11 though.

          To run (let's ignore build deps for now) it needs dconf, desktop-file-utils, glib, schemas, python, ibus (you can disable it but it still has to be there, annoyingly), telepathy, a seat manager, pulse, polkit, eds, mutter, gtk4, and whatever fonts you want. If you want it to display on the local machine you'll need an xserver; as of now each of the apps can simply act as a client though (which is the capability they are discussing getting rid of). I know this because I'm a packager...
