Very apt analogy. Wayland is indeed the subversion of window systems, can't wait for it to die and be replaced by a window system equivalent of git.

  Wayland isn't bad or limited by design. It's just too little. If you just made all the necessary extensions for desktop use and made them mandatory (possibly in a single implementation like Xorg), you'd have a solution.

      Sure it's a problem, but more of a social one. Wayland's creator was weirdly opposed (that was the net effect anyway) to adding features, and the freedestop.org setup is better, but not good.
