Running Wayland: It Works, But A Lot Of Work Remains

Never rewrite from scratch my friend...never. All that code you consider crap actually has a lot of bugfixes, the new code has a new array of problems and most likely will also repeat some bugs from the past....

When the problem itself has changed or limitations of the current approach block further development is is often imperative to write from scratch. Don't let this get in the way of your trolling though. Change==bad, new stuff is always the wrong approach, blah blah blah.

Read that article from that link. Most "limitations" are limitations just because the developers like to see them as such so they can justify a rewrite.

I have read this article already, but it has absolutely no relevance to the case of Wayland.
The article talks about rewriting the SAME software from scratch, Wayland is a very DIFFERENT thing altogether.
Bugfixes in Xorg don't apply to Wayland because they are fundamentally different architectures..
how the hell am I supposed to explain that to you over and over again?

Ubuntu 12.04 that will get on more computers that usual if we listen to Mr. Shuttleworth uses 0.9.something. And 11.10 also used 0.9.something if I'm not mistaken.

If you use Unity you should use 0.9.x as I understand it. Ubuntu is tailored to Unity uppermost, as compiz 0.9.x is to unity. If your user-case is different you can use it but should expect bugs.
