The `-X` and `-Y` options were a mistake to integrate into `ssh(1)`, it makes an assumption that everybody uses an Athena/X11 type system. That said, you can combine waypipe with ssh to do the same thing (ie. `waypipe ssh` will give you the same effect as `ssh -X`).

Until those options are integrated into OpenSSH itself, Wayland remains in the minority.

I'm not sure this statement makes any sense.

Cool, I remember using it in 2003 a few times. I highly doubt many people going to miss if those were gone. I would not be surprised if the majority of ssh server installations disable x11 session forwarding.

Are you sure you're not confusing Wayland users with OpenBSD users?
Their ssh supports the -X and -Y options to run remote X applications.
Let me know when those go Wayland-specific and are able to encompass the new protocol.
Until then, get comfortable in a small and discardable minority.
