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.

I still remember the 11.04 release with that horrible wacky Unity version with black background, later some dev from Canonical acknowledged they just dumped their latest snapshot of Unity onto users and called it "stable" and subject for further improvement.
So 14.04 won't be LTS, but rather TSR (the shitty release), and 16.04 should be good enough, that is true LTS.

..it will be a miracle if Mir is ready for all form factors in a production environment by Ubuntu 14.04 LTS next year.

Unfortunately, aside from the DEs, their user experiences seem to be even more misguided than Ubuntu's, albeit compatible.
We need an Ubuntu-killer, as well as Ubuntu.

This sounds like the sham of "trickle down" economics all over again.Last edited by Hamish Wilson; 05 March 2013, 01:40 AM.

Regarding implementing the feature, most of the work is done in other project, they simply need to adapt it to suit Mir's structure.

TBH
Even if it is fun to bash I truly think that Canonical wouldn't waste time on something they didn't thought was mandatory for the evolution of Ubuntu, yes, it is not helping neither X or Wayland developers and it looks like the TO-DO list is longer then the "done" one, but again, Canonical isn't playing around and we all saw it with Steam and Ubuntu phone, I say, lets wait & see
