The end user doesn't care about protocols or compositors. The end user wants a system that can replace Xorg and do the same or even a better job. And, as of today, Wayland fails miserably at that.

Most of the answers are either "well that's true, the protocol doesn't allow it, but implementations do it in non-standard ways" or "we are working on it" or "oh this is not a problem with Wayland, see, Wayland is just a protocol". i.e. at least half of the criticism, as of today, is still practically true.
Yeah, lol. Qt and super lightweight don't go hand to hand. I have a spinny hard disk and reading those dozens of megabytes off the hard disk would take a few seconds, as opposed to opening the actual notepad.exe, which is always instantaneous.

Isn't it a bit late for Ruby now?
Not what I meant. I mean that now I assume newspapers get most of their traffic from Facebook instead of Google, so they won't care as much if Google delists them.
Not sure if that will work now with Facebook and all.
>Italy, Poland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Luxembourg, Malta and Slovakia did not agree to the draft, however.

Can they veto it, or do they have to take it whether they like it or not?
