But that is the point of the post -- X maintainers will abandon X and it will not be considered "a reasonable alternative" anymore. Nvidia supports Wayland just fine with their Eglstreams API, but some WM/drivers developers make a principled stand of not using it.

Maintaining a compositor isn't an easy challenge. GNOME has the resources, plus nvidia help, in supporting EGLStreams so it can.
