X is still in very good shape - and everybody is working with it (look at the pool of Wayland applications ... get it?) - but that so many things are just left out and was really in the pipe for X development (even Wayland will need X for more than a decade - from the time it is usable ...) not developing it is just stupid.
Even off topic I am worried more about CUPS - seems to be abandonware due to the bad touch of Apple.
I here I can see trouble - currently I don't get my printer to work on current Ubuntu versions (last working version was Eoan - 19.10) ... so the printing situation should soon be taken care of.
And there are rumors of a successor. But shedding some lights here would be very welcome.
Concerning these problems the Wayland <-> X situation is not at all interesting - even boring.
X works quite well (working on X since mit 1990-ies ... and no crashes the last 10 years after getting installation right - so who really say that it is not stable???).
Wayland is not used outside Red Hat influence and GNOME may be the (rather forced) default - but after my experiences the worst choice.
Was very impressed to see KDE being faster than XFCE ... and much more stable ... so there are really choices.
But it's sad that politics is more important today than technical matters - and that the free software spirit - making people use their computers as they want to - gets lost.
We will see if things get better or totally messed up ... time will tell.
