By their nature, I do not see how the -x11 packages can possibly break the 
Wayland implementation. To do so, they would have to be either required or 
recommended by, or supplement or obsolete one of the "official" packages 
(because otherwise, users of the "official" packages will not have or get 
those packages even installed at all, as, at the latest, the upgrade to 
Fedora 40 will have obsoleted them). That is not currently the case (neither 
the Requires/Recommends scenario nor the Supplements/Obsoletes one), and I 
do not see that ever changing, as that would require a major blunder or a 
deliberate sabotage act by one of the involved parties. And then it would 
take an additional blunder for the package that gets accidentally installed 
to actually break something (except in the Obsoletes case if it accidentally 
obsoletes an essential package).
