   My sense of it is...   
      
   ... there are a lot of things 'wrong w/' the old X (x11 since 1987),   
   and, theoretically at least, there should/could be a better way of doing it,   
      
   ... *BUT* ...   
      
   ... Wayland has been *trying* and trying and trying to get it done since   
   2008, and considering that it hasn't actually gotten it properly done in   
   all that time,...   
      
   ... there must be 'something wrong' between the theory and the reality.   
      
   So, maybe Wayland isn't the 'best' idea after all; but apparently there   
   isn't an alternative plan in the works.  All that seems pretty flakey to me.
