2.) you understand the guy that wrote XWayland and later ripped off as XMir stated is not good enough and need drm/kms side fixes, to be a real solution?
3.) you know Xmir and Xwayland are desgined for rootless apps? aka not running an XServer session in fullscreen
4.) don't you think wayland devs[Xorg/intel/amd/community/Vmware/kernel.org/redhat], that have many brilliant devs working for it would annouced XWayland if it was good enough?
5.) you realize wayland is finished except some corner cases that will be tackled in 1.2 release?
6.) explain to me why Redhat or anyone responsable will force you to test a layer that impact minimaly the features of wayland[or mir] that its own developer among many other brilliant ppl stated is not good enough yet?
7.) why you assume we wanna test XWayland?
8.) we are months away of fully native toolkits and DE for wayland upstream, meaning every distro out there will have it out-of-the-box just needeing a switch or option test to switch back and forth between wayland and X11
9.) you realize wayland is backed by the Xorg foundation and freedesktop.org and FSF? you know how much that weight? you seen its members?
my point is, if you don't have at least some of those answer how can you state what is good or bad? you tell your doctor what to do if you don't even know anatomy or medicine?
to put your post in an analogy "canonical is giving me a old VW beetle with a exterior made of paper that look like a ferrari so i can see it now, while wayland is an actual ferrari but i don't know to reach italy to see one, so it sucks"
