Maybe my choice of words was suboptimal. Please keep in mind that I am not a
native English speaker. (But yes, it is true that I tend to use unfriendly
wording when I get angry, and I apologize for that.)
The point I was trying to make is: The problem is that this is not just one
package making a choice. It is part of a greater scheme. See the removal of
X11 support from KDE Plasma (which I then reintroduced as packages built
from separate SRPMs, something I am also suggesting people do for GDM), the
constant messaging that "X11 is deprecated" (partly by the same people both
for the KDE and GNOME changes), etc. The goal of the effort is clearly to
force people to use Wayland instead of X11 because it is the personal
preference of some packagers and some upstreams. And that is what I
perceived as a "crusade".
Sorry if my use of that term has offended anybody here.
