Wayland on NetBSD – trials and tribulations

Related to yesterday's post about NetBSD switching to ctwm:

After I posted about the new default window manager in NetBSD I got a few questions, including when is NetBSD switching from X11 to Wayland?", Wayland being X11's new" rival. In this blog post, hopefully I can explain why we aren't yet!

The short answer? Wayland is too Linux-specific to be easily ported or adapted to NetBSD, so don't expect it any time soon.
