The story of Wayland:
1. No one wanted to maintain X11 because it sucked
2. We made Wayland and it's much better
3. A vocal minority of change-averse people complained with little to no factual basis
4. They were asked to muster some labor to maintain X11
5. None of them did
6. All of the people who actually do get work done eventually stopped listening to them and moved on with Wayland
