Again, Xwayland is Xorg, just with a Wayland DDX backend.If you check out the xorg-server source tree, you can build your own Xwayland with appropriate configuration. Beyond just doing an end run around nazi X forks, I think the idea here is to get everybody on Wayland by hook or by crook. The Xorg developers explicitly DO NOT want you to use Xorg, especially not with a direct hardware backend (even modesetting). Wayland is their solution for a much-needed replacement. and, going forward, aside from bugfixes Xwayland will be the only supported/maintained X solution. But really the idea is to keep Xwayland around only for legacy apps, so we'll probably see no new features or protocols added to Xwayland except perhaps to better integrate with Wayland desktops. Xwayland itself will be slated for deprecation and eventual removal from the latest versions of most major distros in the next ten years or so.
