Perhaps if the X devs want people to migrate, they should consider giving Wayland all the features of X. Otherwise people are going to keep using the thing that works.

> all the features of X

I don't think Wayland should add a print server ;)

No, but there should exist a print server that Wayland applications can use. I don't object to refactors and replacements, but the underlying features should still exist.

There's 0 point in making a new software if you're just going to inherit all the fundamental design flaws that make the original software unmaintainable.
