Michael, any chance we'll get some new Native Wayland vs XWayland vs X tests? It seems the Wayland bandwagon has kind-of slowed down and nothing is going on anymore. The excitement is completely gone, now when it's actually getting ready for prime-time. It was supposed to solve so much, and hopefully bring improved performance and less overhead with it, but we haven't seen anything like that yet.

yes and no. Wayland *not* being exciting is great! It means that it *is* ready for prime time. It is stable. It is exactly what all the DE's need - a stable base to implement against. Gnome/KDE/Enlightenment/et al. are right now all busy implementing things and finding the corner cases where things could be better.
This is the phase that while not be full of news, is full of exciting code an beta testing

I agree, and that's what I meant by stating "the excitement is gone", it feels like it is NOW we SHOULD be excited! =)
