Then you would have to wait forever because it is a goal of Wayland not to implement all of X.

If their point is that they will be the ones maintaining X11, then more power to them.

Between that and distros and DE's saying they're going to remove X support, it really feels like a giant middle finger to anyone relying on said features.

the new cosmic DE doesnt support x11 at all. Fedora KDE SIG plans to not offer the x11 session in the session chooser.

In addition to what others have already mentioned, https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp... says "The X.org display server is deprecated, and will be removed in a future major RHEL release."
