It may not be the 5 to 10 years you want, but they did mention support being available in the 2026 timeframe.

As for catching up with X functionality, times change and software changes with it. Not everyone will appreciate that change and it is doubtful that anyone will be entirely satisfied (though some will see the benefits as outweighing what they lose).

Not that that really matters. It looks like Wayland will be the future of graphics on Linux. It is simply a matter of when people choose to adopt it.

With nobody working on remote GPU-accelerated rendering apart from Javascript and Wasm, it looks like the browser will be the future of graphics.
