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.
