I had never heard of the Berlin project. Thanks for the link. But my point is that Wayland is fairly successful at delivering what it set out to, an alternative display manager with compositing. It works, and even if it's far enough from actually replacing X, it's getting traction. The same applied to a few other X replacement projects. They didn't entirely replace X, but they did show that it's possible to do so given enough free time, resources and developer interest. I'm not against X, but if something else comes up with enough potential, we shouldn't just dismiss it because it's new.
