It doesn't seem like it's authors think that it's very ready as well, so that's good.

This is a bad time to push Wayland. Valve is trying to port games, and Windows 8 is going to alienate users (who won't have a stable OS to move to due to Wayland). Obviously Wayland won't be ready to replace X for quite some time. I see the advantages, but it needs to be an extremely smooth transition or it will cause more problems than it solves.

It's scary that one of the main Wayland experimenting distros put out there is a Rebecca Black themed OS ;_;
Still it's interesting to see where it's at, nice overview Micheal.

Running Wayland: It Works, But A Lot Of Work Remains
Phoronix: Running Wayland: It Works, But A Lot Of Work Remains
Following the news shared today that Ubuntu's delayed their Wayland System Compositor adoption from Ubuntu 12.10 to at least Ubuntu 13.04 there was the more positive news that there's an updated third-party spin of an Ubuntu derivative running Wayland. This article has some more information on that new "RebeccaBlack OS" release along with screenshots that provide a glimpse of where the Wayland adoption is at today.
