Up and coming, like it or not, from the Freedesktop project is the |
| 2 |
X-Window replacement called Wayland. Gentoo is already involved with |
| 3 |
Wayland although it is still considered experimental. |

My concern is whether or not Wayland will totally supplant X-Window |
| 6 |
or will it exist as an option to X-Window. That is, when Wayland |
| 7 |
becomes finally ready for prime time, will we all be forced to adopt |
| 8 |
it with no alternative or will the standard X-Window also be a choice? |

Another concern centers around all of the udev/dbus stuff which I have |
| 11 |
so far successfully managed to completely avoid. A second question then |
| 12 |
is how much will Wayland be dependent on udev? Will it be an option |
| 13 |
or mandatory? |
