Look at the main request on this page: hiDPI. That is what we need a better graphics stack for.
The reason we need focus on Wayland is that NVIDIA and AMD need to focus on a specific graphics stack. That wasn't our choice. That was theirs. Thankfully, AMD is headed in the right direction with AMDGPU.
Unfortunately, NVIDIA shows no signs of sensibility here, so we must be wise, and focus their efforts away from Xorg. The best way to do this is for canonical to forget about Mir, and push its support behind Wayland.
We need your help, Canonical! Let us fight stagnation together, lest we find ourselves using Xorg for another 10 years.
