I can't speak for the developers plans themselves
but:
1. Ubuntu ships with unity by default yet GNOME is
still installable. Plus this distro exists.
2. Even though Unity next will be based on KDE libs
and work on Mir continues, Kubuntu had already said they will
not be including Mir support.
Unity Next is based on QML (Qt) which is an independent project from
KDE.
3. The GNOME foundation has already indicated they
will be supporting Wayland.
Ubuntu is about choice. While Ubuntu will be
supporting Mir in the default installation, it will not be
removing X from the repositories, and will not prevent Wayland
when it's ready and stable.
Indeed the various flavours exist to provide a non-default Ubuntu
experience. It's really too early to say exactly what will happen
from a technical perspective, but I would expect whatever happens to
be largely transparent to the end-users of Ubuntu GNOME.
We will evaluate the options over time, In the short term (13.10),
we can stick with X if need be. Long term the future of KDE and
GNOME is moving towards wayland, and I expect that is what we will
use eventually.

After the annoucement from Ubuntu saying MIR
will be default on 13.10, I think the most important
question is what is gonna happen to Ubuntu GNOME flavour ? I
guess Ubuntu GNOME developers are working hard on that but
as a user I really would like to have their opinion on
Ubuntu GNOME future.
Thank you in advance !
