Wtf? This was supposed to happen with Plasma 7, or did I miss a memo?

Notice how that was 6+ months ago, and this newest post is from today?

That’s how memos work.

Exactly, so this will create a lot of criticism for no reason. Should have happened with Plasma 7 with QT 7, or at least in the release after next debian freeze (unless they freeze it with v6.7). If the switch will happen early 2027 that means upcoming Debian will already be wayland only.
