> Xorg is slowly being put aside and wayland has strong backing and a fulltime working dev team.

That's a very shortsighted view, Wayland has nothing like NX, not even in its roadmap..
GSocs to improve the free NX client, to integrate it into X, to fix some X issues (even if the transition happen, it'll take several years) would have been nice..

And much more important than some of the "toy" GSoc which have been accepted .

Is this really true? Do you have a source? Is there someone other than Kristian working on Wayland full-time?

by looking at the mailing list many intel people work on it (ie submit patches). not sure if this is 100% of their time at intel but they contribute and obviously they get payed to do so.

Yes, it was for LAN, but note that I was talking about NX which is for WAN, here Wayland would need many changes to be efficient.
