Right, but that's only said by the ubuntu fanboys who swallow everything Shuttleworth ejaculates...

Originally posted by bwat47For the last time, this is not true. Fedora plans to have an optional wayland gnome session by fedora 20, and wayland by default for fedora 21. The plan isn't concrete and subject to change obviously, but saying "no distros plan do adopt wayland is totally false.
Read before ranting, man, I'm on your side, mostly.
EDIT: I see you already figured out we're on the same boat :lol:

Originally posted by mrugiero View PostFor Mir on Wayland you'd need a somewhat stable API. Else, you'll spend all of your devs on playing catch up. And Canonical didn't make that compromise, and in fact, they said (it's mentioned on one of the developer's blog) they "don't intend reimplementations, and will make no effort to not break the API". I quote it almost textual (I already closed the tab, an I'm not positive I recalled it correctly, but I copied the meaning as stated, not "we will break because we hate you and we are evil!!!1!!ONE" nor "we are so nice we assure you we will not break, so you can reimplement all you want", but they do not intend to be helpful in that regard) to avoid misunderstandings of the kind I put between braces.

Section "The Mir protocol?".
- When will MIR have a stable API/ABI?

The plan is for libmirserver to have a stable API/ABI by the time we
release Unity 8 (again, around the 13.10 timeframe).

Nevertheless, the facts are what they are - while the earliest Shell designs predate Unity, those designs *did* change over time, coming to more strongly resemble Unity. No shame in that - I think Shell turned out the better for it, based on how cluttered the activities view appears in the older design docs.
