Yes, of course. Two minutes of searching would have led you here: https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap Come on, sph, this is not Reddit.

I downvoted them because I think it's rude to complain about how others choose to spend their time contributing to open source projects.

That page says: "For Xfce 4.18, the plan is to ensure our applications are working acceptably on Wayland"

Since this is the 4.18 release and Wayland is not mentioned in the blog post, it's reasonable to ask if that plan is still in place. (I do agree it's up to XFCE maintainers and contributors to set the pace, if any, for Wayland support).

Do you think it is more likely that that user found the wiki page, performed the same analysis as you, then came back here to ask their question without mentioning any of the research they did; or they just turded out the first question they could think of and did zero research trying to answer it for themselves?
