This is a great change in my opinion. Nobody wants to give support and effort into dying projects
I don't use GNOME or Wayland and also think the change makes sense.
It will mean even less attention is given to X11 as project, if that’s possible.
Gnome devs would no longer be interested in resolving any X11-related compatibility issues.
Yeah, that's fine. Wayland or whatever is going to be the future. I still use X11 as last time I checked (I try it out every year or so), a lot of my little tweaks were broken under Wayland. Someday I'll have to change, but that's OK.
