Wayland and its associated protocol stack is old, crufty, and written for a use case that doesn't exist anymore. We're planning to get all the major toolkits migrated to DisplayWebKit sometime within the next two years.

That's a confusing assertion. Wayland is only a few years old, and has only very recently seen anything approaching widespread usage. What do you mean by "Wayland is old"?

And, who's "we" when you say "We're planning to get all the major toolkits migrated to DisplayWebKit"?

I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just don't get where you're coming from.

I think GP's post was tongue-in-cheek; I read it that way, anyway.

Ah, too subtle for me. There are enough people looking at the world through the lens of "everything should be on the web" that it doesn't seem entirely crazy to have the browser as the display target.

I read the comment as being satirical but I find the best satire is that which could be mistaken for the genuine article.

It's supposed to be in the spirit of "what we'll hear a few years from now about Wayland" just like we're hearing it now about X11.
