We could sort of get it in the form of GPU offloading with dma-buf/prime.

It probably won't be as performant as a real Optimus setup, but I have high hopes.

So Nvidia, fuck you!

I mean, we all saw youtube videos of Wayland (or Weston?) rotating textboxes and windows, right? Is that Wayland's equivalent of RandR? What's it called? How is it different (technologically) from X's approach (RandR)?

It's simply called "Wayland", as the functionality is part of the core design. If you support Wayland you support the feature, and afaik it's simply to support Wayland then X+RandR, comming from zero implementation.
