OK, performance of Xwayland might not be that bad and actually have some positive points ...but there is still a thing that concerns me....
There was her at Phoronix in a article something about a kinda of "road-map" for Wayland and how the devs intended that Wayland evolved in coming...
...What really concerned me was that at some point is was said/shown_in_schematic(don't recall exactly) that Xwayland was a temporary thing and would be dropped...and i really really didn't liked that.
Is this still planned to be done, sooner or later ?
If so, how soon or how late ? 50 years , 20, 10, 5 ?
There was no info about that...and the most weird thing is that i started to think..."OK, so , X11 will enter in maintenance mode, if X11 enters in maintenance mode and will not evolve, Xwayland won't need to evolve either after some more time and could also enter in maintenance mode...so...WHY to REMOVE IT ?!? Sure it wouldn't take that much resources to simply maintain it !?!"
Because the thing is that there might a odd ball app that wants X and works and we still want/need to use it but if there is no more X or Xwayland, we can't.
*That* is my final true concern about all this thing with Xwayland (dunno what are intentions from Mir devs...but even if i knew , with Ubuntu, we never know what they pull of tomorrow )
