It's probably going to take a year before Wayland can be turned on as the default desktop and it's probably going to take several years before X can possibly go away so to use this kind of hyperbole is really just flamebait. It's fine to bring your concerns up but please postpone this "we are all going to die" routine until we *actually* have something to complain about.
