Official Wayland Support Postponed From GNOME 3.12 77
An anonymous reader writes "GNOME 3.12 was going to have official Wayland support as one of its main features for the upcoming desktop release. The developers have now decided to delay the official Wayland support until at least GNOME 3.14 while the support found there will be shipped as a preview. Missing features like drag 'n' drop and clipboard support are still missing from GNOME's Wayland code, which made them decide another six months of development work is needed. Other GNOME 3.12 features are mentioned on the GNOME Wiki."

__WHY__
X is a farcical, bloated mess that sucks. A lot.
Some X developers (real, credible ones) saw what Apple has accomplished with their high quality compositors and correctly factored display stack and are trying to bring that to open source systems.
