Replying more to the Wayland comments, yes.. FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD need to implement the Wayland `protocol` because xorg-server development is slowly being killed over time, but unfortunately that work is not slotted by anyone directly affiliated with the project AFAIK. The project is also beta though, and as many know "the new hotness" in Linux generally has a short lifespan unless it's truly well thought out, so I think waiting and seeing what happens (but observing with interest and participating in discussions are necessary) would be a better use of resources instead of immediately immersing FreeBSD into Linux-style development churn.
