A good part of why so may of us are cautious about Wayland is precisely that one or more of the things we rely on doesn’t support it. For example, my window manager doesn’t. I use that window manager every single day, and there is nothing out there which works the way it does. It’s a vital part of my workflow.
Does Wayland support the entire Xcompose system or an equally powerful alternative?
Wayland does genuinely sound interesting, if flaky and half-baked (it reminds me of systemd in that way). Certainly, the world doesn’t owe me a port of my window manager. But if the Wayland transition forces me to use GNOME then my life will be worse.

As I understand, the "init.d war" was lost; systemd is the clear winner on Linux and continues to improve. That said, lots of good developers died on that hill.
