2) The problem with breaking Xorg and X11 compliance is I think Xorg is the X consortium now, so if they break the X protocol, that would imply X12 protocol...which is Wayland. But if they call it X12, then anyone who has any interest in X still would need to get the chance to chime in with what they think X12 should look like. Hence Wayland, it was a clean break from backwards compatibility and old people and old thoughts and ideas.
