This question is asked in the comments of the article as well, and receives an incredibly unprofessional answer:

But what about Wayland?
Wayland is claimed to replace X soon. Major distros are already working on its integration.
Are the authors aware of it or does it have the same design flaws?

But as it is your research topic, I expected you had already done that or even contacted the developers to inform them.
As it is still under heavy development, I guess it is a good timing to implement good stuff and for expert like you to advise them.

That was just a Saturday morning blog post with an aim to save some lost souls, like yours... And I really don't have time to go and test all the software in the development that is out there. I do have real job, that among other things includes doing real research...
