In Ubuntu 17.04 you can run GNOME 3.24 over Wayland already today. It supports drag-and-drop today. No need to wait for Mir, we already have Wayland today and it works.
It is to bad that Ubuntu ships with old versions of GNOME Terminal, Gedit and Nautilus.

And it was 5 years old when Mir was begun. So it shouldn't be too surprising that Wayland is ahead of Mir in development. Both of them were unusable for the first 5 years, lol

Besides... how can any system or system component claim feature parity with Windows 95 without a "working" BSOD implementation?

I often read comments about how X11 is old, but besides that, is there any rational reason why would you want to replace it? Wayland is terrible at current stage, it may fit some (or even majority) use case scenarios, but it is not even close to X in terms of funcionality. MiR, we know it lags behind Wayland even.
I am not against introducing new (and potentially better) protocols, it's great, but why so much "hate" towards X? It is without question superior to any protocol, otherwise it wouldn't be used on de-facto every GNU/Linux distribution.
For my use case scenario, none of the new procotols could reach even basic functionality terms, let alone advanced things. For example, wayland relies on EDID information, when you are in use case scenario where EDID information is wrong, you have to jump trough tons of hoops, build your own EDID binary, load it in KMS, and pray to the Gods of Egypt it will work. How is that better than simple modeline in X? It can't be, and it isn't. I'm not even touching root privs...
TL;DR: X is good, and it is still far superior to any otehr protocol.
