> Obviously you can't benefit from anything Wayland improves on, but I suspect that's not a huge problem.

Indeed, that's not a problem at all, because there are zero such things I care about. The problem is that a lot of distros and DE's are dropping support for X even though Wayland still isn't viable at all for so many people, and LTS isn't forever.

That seems like a solved problem though. LTS distros will drop X11 when the Wayland session is viable for most people, which is very nearly true, but ultimately not. When it does happen, it really shouldn't come as a sudden surprise.

You're always free to step up and support continued X development. Nobody else wants to, because the code is truly terrible, and that's been the main driver for distributions dropping support.
