Take into account that this thread diverged from the original purpose, so it would worth to read it completely. A summary: * The original mail was just a Unity update [1] and I made some additional questions [2]. * Alan Coopersmith asked if the eventual switch of Unity to Wayland could affect [3]. * Michael Meeks pointed that this will not be a short-term move. [4] * Alan Coopersmith agreed, but he mentioned that on his gnome 2.0 experience, it would be good to start to planify this kind of things with time [5] * As he was talking about GNOME 2.0, I mentioned that for GNOME 3.0, GNOME Shell is implementing the magnification [6] so Alan Coopersmith asked about Wayland plans for GNOME Shell [7] * I CCed the mail to GNOME Shell list [8] and Owen Taylor answered saying that this could happens (eventually) as this is the trend on the X world, described some issued, and pointed that this is not a short or medium-term issue [9] So, although this debate started because Unity team announced that, in general we were talking about it because Wayland is the current trend. About if it is really usable: no idea. But I will repeat myself: this move is not a short or medium term move. But, as Alan Coopersmith said, it is good to take this kind of things on mind.
