Personally I see no reason not to make it default on, even with
flavors coming up. For any Desktop user (as well as embedded devices
like IVI-systems and whatnot), Wayland is the future. There's no
escaping that.
and why does everyone think a Unix should be run on a desktop only ?
I suspect you might be a little confused - no one is saying that Unix is
going to be "desktop only" - this is in regards to where graphical
interfaces is moving for Unix like operating systems in general.
And the "future", well, lot of companies are going to say "Cloud
first" ;) is the future so the next thing-of-the-day will replace the
today-thing-of-the-day to add what's required then and we're busy
replacing things with the newest shiny technology because someone has
to re-invent the wheel another time.
Personally I don't see much problems rebuilding some ports if I really
want Wayland, but as long as some apps run on some RasPi's and
embedded devices without a display using plain X11 is the way and
Wayland adds just overhead.
how does adding support, by default, for Wayland in some graphical
binaries add overhead to your system at run time?
no one is saying that this will supplant Xorg, but rather this will make
it easier for more people in the FreeBSD community to actively test and
dogfood Wayland. the alternative is for FreeBSD to continue to be an
afterthought by freedesktop and Wayland community which doesn't seem
like a good long-term strategy IMHO.
