Xubuntu using Mir instead of Wayland?
No thanks, I'll stop using Xubuntu then.

I'm sure the DE mode patches will be ignored entirely without comment.

I find it both amusing and something akin to a kick in the arse when Ubuntu decided to go ahead with Mir when Steam decided to settle on Ubuntu as the de facto distro for their linux implementation. Steam wanted to get away from the vendor lock-in garbage MS bandy about only to have Ubuntu do a similar thing. At least Mir theoretically should be compatible retroactively.

XWayland: Only applications can run. User must be using DE running natively under Wayland with applications for all non-wayland-native-DE (Xorg apps and pre-wayland gnome2, kde4, E17 apps, ect) can only be run as single applications.
IE: if your DE of choice hasn't been converted to Wayland native yet, then too bad.
XMir: DE and applications can run (later application only mode will be supported). User can be running DE running natively under Mir or XMir for all DE's and applications.
IE: Users have more choices. Use a Mir native DE or not, your choice.
I see this as a HUGE advantage and great for users to assist with the post-Xorg times transitions that Wayland doesn't support. Its USE NATIVE or too bad with Wayland. There's a choice with Mir/XMir.
