What this means is that there were 30+ years of corner cases handled in
the code.  Those won't be handled in Wayland for a long time, if ever.
When Wayland has its own stack of such corner cases, it will then be
bloated and unmaintainable, and the cycle will start again with a new
piece of software.

If X runs on a single user system with no internet facing services,
security exploits are probably not a breaker.  It will be the change in
the abis and apis as the underlying system evolves that will break it.
