What sort of nonsense is this? Wayland is the opposite of "on the way out". XOrg has been made the secondary option on a variety of distros for the last few years[1], and there are plans to fully depreciate it in the near-medium term[2].

It is far from a "farce" and your proof, if you read the discussions you provided are for corner cases and specific implementations that go against the explicit and specific designs of what the protocol should do.

You're purposefully misleading the discussion (which is fantastic - Godot being Wayland native is a huge success and benefit for the engine on Linux).

If window icons and drag and drop are corner cases "that go against the explicit and specific designs of what the protocol should do" the "specific designs of what the protocol should do" are clearly wrong.

Besides that, only RedHat and Collabora consultants are pushing for Wayland. People that actually use their computer (as in requiring e.g. drag and drop to work properly) stay on X11 and have done so for the last 16 years.

You're being a little disingenuous. Window Icons exist in Wayland, there's nothing stopping a compositor from adding an icon to their decorations. That proposal is about windows being able to set their own icon.

And drag and drop exists in Wayland. I can detach a tab from my browser and a new window appears and moves with the mouse. It seems that proposal was to replace an unstable protocol.
