Well,

Back in 2010 I heard f15 will feature experimental wayland support (from
Alan Jackson AKA ajax). Anyone knows what's the latest update on that
issue? Will we ever gonna see wayland replacing X?

The Wayland project is very much alive and well.

You can read the latest news about Wayland by keeping an eye on phoronix.com as Michael follows Wayland development pretty closely. Just search their site for Wayland and you get the latest news.

As far as replacing X with Wayland goes, my guess it's a matter of time. Wayland 1.0 will be announced next week which means there's a stable API/ABI which projects now living on top of X can use to make their apps available on Wayland.

I have not been following this closely, but it sure looks interesting.

What would be some key benefits of replacing X with Wayland?
