Wayland is a protocol.
Mir is a Display Server.
Wayland is not a Display Server.
Mir is more correctly compared against KWin (KDE), Mutter (Gnome), and Weston.
Theoretically I think Mir could be Wayland protocol compatible if they chose to write that code.
3 years of reading about Canonical vs Wayland and everyone's panties in a wad is getting old.
I applaud the creation of open software: Pantheon, KDE, Gnome, Cinnamon, MATE, LXDE, RazorQt, Firefox, Chromium, etc...
All of us should be on the same side and applaud new free open creations, it's rediculous to create so many divisions and try to defame X company because they choose to create Y software that we feel shouldn't exist. You know what? In Apple & Microsoft's perfect world - Linux wouldn't exist! Lets not adopt their bad thinking, freedom to choose is good.

* actually brought some real advantage with Mir, or
* made Mir follow the standard, or
* add a wayland-mir translation layer to enable wayland apps to run on Mir or vice versa, or
* updated existing apps and desktop environments to support Mir as well.
Unfortunately, Canonical did nothing from the above and left it up to the community to sort out the mess and make sure Ubuntu is compatible with non-Ubuntu Linux. So, in short: Yes, Mir should just die because it's negatively affecting everyone.

Other stuff is not theyr place to update, they can help but, 1: Port the toolkit and moust of the apps work just fine (like GTK has been ported and you can run it under native mir) 2: if your using custom hacks and stuff its your job to update it not canonical 3: games will also just.
