Quite frankly I hope Wayland doesn't replace X.<p>The main killer feature for me is how easy it is to run graphical applications over the network using X.
I run a FreeBSD desktop with virtualized Linux, OpenBSD and Windows systems. the ability to run applications like they are on the host system is something I have not yet seen how to do with Wayland.
tl;dr: X11R6 is very healthy on NetBSD and has active contributors<p>from the same blog: Wayland is also approaching healthy on NetBSD and has active contributors<p>There is no reason to get bent out of shape. NetBSD as a project has commitments to desktop support and seems to be living up to those commitments very well.
What about the fact that X.org itself is unmaintained and falling apart? It's nice that the modesetting driver covers most new hardware, but without active maintenance and governance the writing is on the wall for X.org.<p>Without a Wayland story, the BSDs will really end up dying, at least as desktop systems.
