No. I'm sorry but it's fundamentaly unfair to hold me responsible for the behaviour of others. If you think this shouldn't have been brought up fine but if others decide to draw premature conclusions from this it's their fault and not mine. As for the "the developers will come forward when it's done" you apparently seem to know know about the behind the scenes connections between Wayland and Fedora than others. I was aware of the initial anouncement of Wayland when the project was started at long time ago and wouldn't have dreamed of bringing it up precisely because it would have been premature. However now Ubuntu is apparently going to introduce its influence so I thought it to be fair to make Fedora aware of the project.
