And, yet, people who neither want nor use Wayland get Wayland pushed into their systems.

There has been a fork recently (by a controversial figure tbh) but you can probably go use that with a DE that has it as the default, then you won't get pushed into anything.
Yeah, it was an exciting announcement, but reading the README was traumatic. It just got worse, and worse the more you read.
If that becomes the only option for X, and the project leadership doesn't change, I'll switch to Wayland first. No good can come from a person with their attitude.
Jesus Christ that README just kept getting worse. Hard pass on that.
