X.org Security Advisory: multiple security issues X.Org X server and Xwayland

This is because Wayland wants to differentiate itself from X on security. Wayland has to show it's more secure than X - as part of that, Wayland has to show that X is insecure.

No, wayland already differentiates itsself from X11 because X is a tool for graphical network terminals and Wayland is a tool for single machine rendering.

X11 is a mountain of tech debt that almost nobody wants to maintain.

Wayland is what you get when you decide to start a space program because, let's be honest, the electrical gremlins in your 1983 Mercedes 560SL are beyond properly fixing, and the kids still need to get to school

X is equivalent to calling your spouse on the telephone when they are sitting next to you on the couch.

How do shared memory and unix sockets fit into this analogy?
