Sorry, but this is really a bad argument. This is exactly the push-back
we get which I talked about during my presentation at QtCon. When
someone tries to make the system more secure, people are actively
pushing back with stupid and wrong arguments. We as a community make the
NSA's job easier. We should be ashamed of us!
Now to your argument. Fedora ships Wayland in the wild. So what exactly
is your point? KFloppy also works on GNOME. Should we not consider GNOME
users for the security aspect?
