How about getting a less buggy version into libreoffice to the LTS release.
I had Ubuntu 14.04's libreoffice calc spit out the wrong numbers.

The second sentence on Wayland's official homepage says just that: http://wayland.freedesktop.org/

Dropping Wayland could get REALLY ugly for non-Mir DE's in future.

While Canonical is putting all of its eggs with their Mir display server to fulfill their desktop convergence strategy and providing the next-generation Ubuntu display experience, Wayland isn't totally off-limits for users -- at least through Ubuntu 14.10...

Therefore, there will be two DE's now supported by Ubuntu, possibly three, plus both of Mint's primary DE's that may at some point require or benefit from Wayland. If Ubuntu removes it from repo, then I would expect a PPA to pop up offering it. For Wayland to only be in PPA, however, would get ugly if any Ubuntu flavors depend on it. Mint would simpl;y put in in their own repo, thought that might force Mint to use their own build of Mesa as well.
I don't see any likelihood that GNOME, MATE, or Cinnamon will ever use Mir. KDE can ran Wayland now, so can upstream GNOME. How long until dropping Wayland would mean dropping Kubuntu and dropping gnome-shell and Ubuntu Gnome?
