..it will be a miracle if Mir is ready for all form factors in a production environment by Ubuntu 14.04 LTS next year.
So 14.04 won't be LTS, but rather TSR (the shitty release), and 16.04 should be good enough, that is true LTS.

Why is wayland not good anymore for their needs?
On the other hand it is a huge benefit to be compatible with android drivers. I wonder how much they have to pay in features/performance for using an older design instead of something like wayland? Or maybe this turns out to be better than wayland? At least canonical has resources to spill into this project.Last edited by varikonniemi; 05 March 2013, 03:50 AM.

I mean they make complaints about wayland but other than the initial announcement it's sounding like they never even actually talked to the wayland people, and the wayland people have disproven everything that has been brought up by Canonical so far as merely FUD by people who don't understand wayland, or X for that matter.. and yeah... The general conclusion seems to be that Canonical is doing it because it gives them control of the Display Server..

... showcasing the (sad) state of the Mir client demo.
... is written in C++, and utilizes Boost.
