If this is some kind of effort at a personal dig at Mark Shuttleworth
or at Ubuntu, please don't bother. It's not funny or clever and it's
not a useful contribution.

Мир is of course the Russian for "peace".

Technically, AIUI, as display servers, Mir and Wayland are quite
similar. Wayland is somewhat tied into GNOME 3; Mir into Unity.
Wayland focus on desktops, Mir on phones and tablets too, and their
different input devices.

Diversity is good. Probably in time one will prove better and win, as
when compositors came to Linux and XGL fought it out with AIGLX. Or,
more recently, as Debian has adopted Systemd over Canonical's Upstart
and Canonical has announced it will follow suit.
