The Wayland devs have assumed that users don't use remote X11 and X11 forwarding through ssh in sufficient numbers to have been a priority for their efforts, I'm guessing. These holes have been there 30 yrs and are well understood at this point. 1 release for those enterprise packages.Ī few of my workflows are completely dependent on security holes in X11 to work. I get the feeling the project team doesn't even look at the latest LTS until after the first. Some of the programs I use won't be supported on 22.04 for a year or more as the underlying software packages are slowly updated to provide full system support.

Wayland would have been nice if, from the start, the developers had understood that their job was to provide the what user needs rather than dictating the rules. The Wayland developers did finally dispense with their intransigence, but now they are behind the eight ball and trying to catch up, even as Wayland has been forced into the starring role - and developers of other packages are trying to serve their target audiences.
A better attitude from the Wayland developers would have gone a long way towards making this all more seamless. That is why developers, like those of TeamView, are having to move mountains to make things work. That is in part due to the initial snotty attitude of the developers as they took it on themselves to decide what it is that a user should and should not do on their own machines. Another instance, one of many, indicating that Wayland is not really ready for the role.
