It seems that the development of Wayland/Weston has kind of leveled out, which I know has been discussed here previously. Most of the development of Wayland is "feature complete" and now it's up to the window managers to do their work, on their end.

But what is left to do in Wayland? How much more can the protocol part of the chain evolve as it is today? Is the next step a big revolution, just like the one from X to Wayland (1990's graphics model to the 2000's/GPU one)?

Well, I guess I have this list to look at... https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Wayland_features

Edit: dOH! That's just Fedora's Gnome+Wayland plans.

Screencast/screenshot API?

Nice! This reply shows how far/different Wayland is from X. They have to standardize APIs for many common actions, or people have to get used to a new way of doing things on the desktop.
