and why does everyone think a Unix should be run on a desktop only ?
And the "future", well, lot of companies are going to say "Cloud first" 
;) is the future so the next thing-of-the-day will replace the 
today-thing-of-the-day to add what's required then and we're busy 
replacing things with the newest shiny technology because someone has to 
re-invent the wheel another time.

Personally I don't see much problems rebuilding some ports if I really 
want Wayland, but as long as some apps run on some RasPi's and embedded 
devices without a display using plain X11 is the way and Wayland adds just 
overhead.

Sure, that's my usage way and maybe 99% of all others have different 
opions.
