That's not what I said. X11 did network transparency wrong. Nobody in that ecosystem stepped up to do it right. The web does it better, even with its warts. Citrix is going to find its way into the same graveyard before too long. This isn't a problem Wayland can solve given the way desktop and mobile apps already work. Delivering a working desktop experience is more important than trying to achieve some kind of purity about what seemed like the right thing to do in the 1980s. Even RISC CPUs have adopted SIMD and task-specific instructions like cryptographic acceleration. VNC and RDP are good enough. Wayland has taken so long to reach maturity, I think, because it tried to do too much more than what was actually necessary. But most of all, the biggest strength and weakness of open source is that it allows anyone and requires someone to put in the work. If you think X12 is the right solution, then all you need to do is make it happen. For all my gripes about Wayland, it exists in large part because nobody was really trying to keep X alive and working well on modern computers.
