On one hand, X desperately needed a clean rewrite, at least 30 years ago. On the other... despite some experienced X people being among Wayland developers, there's too much bizarre stuff like: https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/Wayland/PrimarySelection So grudgingly the idiots agreed to "consider" bringing back a reduced form of mouse paste "to ease the transition for long-term X users". Because, you know, that's an obscure easter egg. And "there are few middle mouse buttons in the world" (have you seen a mouse without a middle button this millenium?).
