   Actually there are several implementations of the Wayland protocol. And   
   remember that the current Xorg is a fork of XFree86, which in turn was   
   derived from the original MIT X11 reference code.   
      
   And there are other projects, like Ubuntu was working on something called   
   “Mir” before giving up and switching to Wayland.

   It’s Open Source, so you are free to come up with a new one. Remember   
   Wayland has been around for a very long time before rising to prominence,   
   because of the immense inertia of all that X11 baggage to overcome. Do you   
   have the patience to do the same?
