alt Hacker Newspeople may remember 'Y' from many years ago, AFAIK it was suppose to replace X, but never got to the point were Wayland is now.

And this is my biggest issue with Wayland. If it started out with portability in mind maybe I would give it a try. But I am sticking with X because it is fully usable on the BSDs.
I don’t blame the developers.
I do wonder what the BSDs will do. The Wayland developers were the X developers. The problems with X all still exist.
How big a share of the desktop market do the BSDs have compared to Linux? I imagine it’s quite small, unfortunately.
