It's weird the certainty with which people say "wayland is the future" when that's not how free software works; nobody knows what "the future" is because it depends largely on volunteer labor (even if some FDo devs are paid, the packagers aren't for the most part and that's who actually gets the software to users).
I don't think that's true; didn't it just recently get a new maintainer who put out a bug fix release and everything?
