So Unity 8 continues to be a no-show as production desktop environment, despite the claim that adopting Mir instead of Wayland would accelerate progress past Wayland. Meanwhile, Fedora 25 is shipping soon with Gnome on Wayland as default, and KDE-based distros are not too far behind anymore. And Mir would be even less far along without infrastructure created for and by the Wayland community, such as libinput, which it came to rely on. (That's without talking about mobile - Wayland shipped on Jolla's SailfishOS phone to endusers more than a year before the first Mir-powered Ubuntu Phone.)<p>I'd say history has proven the critics right on this one.
