Yes, but people's wishes tend to go faster than developers achivements and today there are many applications which depend/rely on Xorg/X11 and porting them to play fine with another display system requires time (and not just to play fine but to be stable and provinding the same capabilities that currently are there). > I cannot judge whether Wayland is in any way better, though. Me neither, but it is still at alpha stage (well, this is said from a person -me- who still uses grub legacy because is robust, well-known and mature).
