As many of you are probably aware, we are working on the Mir display server that is designed to provide a fast, efficient, and extensible display server across phone, tablet, desktop, and TV. Our ultimate goal is a fully converged Unity 8 running on top of Mir ready for the next LTS timeframe, and in 13.10 we plan on making our first step in that direction.
For 13.10 we plan on delivering Mir by default in Ubuntu Desktop with XMir (an implementation of X running on Mir) and our current Unity 7 codebase (the same Unity codebase that is currently in the Saucy development release).
This will be enabled for graphics hardware with Open Source drivers supported by Mir (primarily intel, nouveau and radeon). For binary graphics drivers (e.g. many NVidia and ATI cards) that don’t support Mir yet, we will fallback to the normal X server that we usually ship. This will mean that all users are well served in Ubuntu 13.10 and everyone will get the standard Unity 7 experience with feature parity with X (e.g. multi-monitor support). This fallback will be removed for Ubuntu 14.04. We are working with GPU vendors and partners to provide the required driver support and are confident to have this in place for 14.04.Last edited by DDF420; 03 July 2013, 12:11 AM.

Or are you one of these guys who likes strawman arguments?
in resume, XMir will reach maturity once wayland/xorg/mesa devs fix the base problemprobably near the release of ubuntu 14.04[canonical wonderboys crossing finger keith making it in time so they can show how tech avanced is mir running rootless OMG]
just for the lulz i would love keith upstream DRI3 and xorg patches in an incompatible licence with Mir just to see how canonical wonderboys make things work out[i bet they relicense the entire mir code]
