This won't happen anytime soon, but it will happen.Much of Fedora is user developed. So this need not be the case. It is clear from what I read over in Xfce-land that better tools are needed. Probably to even better migrate Gnome and KDE to Wayland.This is a bigger change than systemd and firewalld. But we made those. We will be on Wayland across the board, it seems, in 5 years or less.
I'm going to reserve the right to pick at the claim that "Fedora is user developed", if this means that what goes into Fedora depends on what users want. I do not recall a great clamoring for some of the things that you mention, and notable amount of opposition from the community. But that's a different topic. On the subject matter of time estimates I don't see this happening in 5 years, if at all. I'm going to go with 7-8 at the least. If XFCE does not support Wayland at that point, I guess that'll be the end of the XFCE spin.
