People treating Wayland as a "finished beta" (more like a finished alpha, really) and forcing it unto release / production distros is what got us "here".

Start by supporting it in devel / testing / closed beta / whatever. Then get to production.

    There were years of announcing the sunsetting of X, and many large projects and companies simply refused to work on it. Nvidia is a good example. Eventually, after pushing off the sunsetting multiple times, it had to happen.

    , and many large projects and companies simply refused to work on it.

    Which made sense at the time! Wayland was (and still is) barely vaporware, a "mission and vision" doc essentially saying "here's what we want Linux desktop to be like, now all of you you go and build it for us".
