Yup. However... I'm not sure how worried we should be - there's an awful lot of legacy X11 code out in the wild, so support of X11 functionality seems (to me, anyway) likely to continue. I guess I envisage us ending up with Wayland used as the graphics layer, and for "local" apps (e.g. games etc.) that need high performance and swoopy graphics. The rest of us can run Xephyr or similar, running on top of Wayland, and get X11 as normal... Including network transparency etc... Then we only need to write one Xserver, that uses Wayland as its graphics engine, and the problem of supporting all the different GPU's moves to Wayland and out of X. This is pretty much how X works on WinXX or OSX anyway, and we get by. More or less!
