"You do realize that the Wayland came from devs working for Red Hat right?"

I did mention that Ubuntu didn't write that code, so yes, I'm aware of that. Kristian Høgsberg, the original author, was working for Red Hat at the time he started the project. I don't know how much dev time Red Hat currently contributes in the current state of Wayland, if any.

In any case, the only ones actively pushing for Wayland use are the Ubuntu devs. Fedora has half-heartedly implied that it will use it at some point in the future. Maybe.

Dave Airlie, a Red Hat engineer, is basically the guy when it comes to pushing progress in Linux's graphics stack. Shuttleworth declaring which way Linux development should go doesn't do shit for the community if he doesn't hire developers to see it through.
