I'd say within this year already. Some major parts like explicit sync are being merged already. And all future work (like HDR) will only go to Wayland. Not to X11.

So this claim that X11 is a viable option is a fallacy.

It works. Therefore, it's viable.

It's my computer. I decide what's "the way to go" or "viable" there. None of your business. No one is forcing you or anyone to use it.

This is clearly a "I wrote it because it's useful for me, I put it online for whom it may concern"-type of project. You need to calm your tits and stop shitting all over people's hobby projects.

You can decide whatever you want. Being stuck with unsupported case (X11) you support yourself is "viable" as long as support yourself is something you can do.
It's not "unsupported". That's just not true.
