It is likely that an organization like this will become a defacto standard used by all big social networks as a way to get government off their back, much like the Hayes Code and then the MPAA ratings board by the movie industry.

Eventually, you won't really have a choice about whether to run a desktop session once Wayland is here. I don't expect my favorite window mamager to be updated with Wayland support.
