I completely agree. Some interesting factoids:
1. Arch already has Wayland in its official repositories.
2. KDE already has preliminary support
3. Intel is driving Wayland development, so integrated cards will likely work without a hitch
4. Systemd was another large change with lots of FUD, and it's already default in high-profile distros (OpenSUSE, Fedora and soon RHEL 7). Even Canonical's on board.
This article is mostly FUD. I think we'll see a relatively stable KDE on Wayland this year. I doubt the Wayland team is that optimistic, but it's moving at an incredible pace.
