    "More details can be found via the Mir Bazaar repository."

    Hahaha. They need to just give up on Bazaar already.

      They should give up Mir too! Fedora has already Wayland, and in a year it will be official.

        But then they need to rewire their whole infra.

        And I mean WHOLE infra.

        Hardly justifiable.

          It's not only justifiable, it will soon be a requirement. You can't build stuff on an EOL, dead product. Especially not when there are thriving OSS replacements

            Fedora has Wayland since F17 or so in the default installation.

              I meant in some more user friendly way. Right now you can choose to log in Gnome Shell via Wayland right from the GUI login manager.

                Hope it will eventually like this:
                Canonical gaves up- nobody wants Mir and nobody wants write apps to this "display server/compositor" so Canonical gives the best what they developed with Mir to Wayland. That is actually the only reasonable way I see, Wayland app support is very poor but let's look on Mir-support none.

                    Wayland App support is fine, Qt and GTK already have support for it as well as SDL which means that for most apps they'll already run, the problem is on the compositor end, as well as applications that use nonstandard toolkits like VCL (LibreOffice) and XUL(Firefox) which are then wrapping around desktop specific toolkits and in Linux's case GTK2
