i started doing my own investigations for Wayland because i realised that it's coming down the pipe, and i wanted to add and update the wiki's information about Wayland, to make sure that it's factually correct. There haven't tended to be enough volunteers willing to work on maintaining X, until the recent appearance of XLibre; most of the Xorg devs don't want to have to wrangle the X code base anymore, and prefer to work on Wayland.
Xlibre - given my other post about the location of the compositor in the stack, is this the "X-Server as a Wayland compositor"?
The main thing that *normal* Wayland will never be able to do is run an X Server. So I know somebody's built this X thingy who's sole purpose is to be an X Server. So you're running this "X on Wayland" thingy that can't speak Wayland :-)
