Wayland is not X11. X11 is long dead. Explaining why is way too much 
effort for this medium, what 'most user desktops' are still X11 at their 
core? Arrgh, I'm a hair old greybeard and we need to let go of this.

Because it's _broken_. ssh x11 forwarding has been deliberately broken 
by _design_ for a _decade_, if you're found using X11 in a corporate 
environemt you will get an earnest conversation with people with no 
sense of humour, the world is real and here and now.
