I've been testing Wayland myself since around the F22 time period, but
"middle click paste" and the occasional odd bug keep annoying me enough
to go back to X.  Can you elaborate on the plans for supporting middle
click to paste, or is it considered a relic of a bygone era and I should
try to unlearn?  I'm generally in favor of pushing the envelope a bit
when it comes to new features, but I have to admit that defaulting to
Wayland at this point seems a bit premature to me, even for rawhide.

All I know is what I found by googling:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1214655

https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/75924/fedora-23-wayland-gnome-terminal-mouse-middle-click-paste/

My brain hurts after reading that.  Since Wayland decided there should
be Only One clipboard buffer (which is probably a good idea), would it
be too hard to just make Menu Copy/Paste do the same thing as Keyboard
Copy/Paste (Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V) do the same thing as Select/Middle-Click
Copy/Paste, all with the same single clipboard buffer, on/between both
Xwayland apps and native Wayland apps?

we will lose the ability to have one regular clipboard and one with the selection and middle click?

that was and is a great option if you have to paste different things multiple times in the same document (source code) and makes things so much faster when you just have to move the pointer and press middle-key or CTRL+V on the postion you need it
