@marcan Also if so many want their Xorg features working in the future.
Why dont they do the more sustainable thing of helping to improve Wayland.

I know there are many dumb Xorg things that will never make it to Wayland, but there are probably a lot of UX related features that can. Someone just has to kick off the discussion.

@riesi Even just prodding people is surprisingly effective sometimes. Like I found out natural scrolling was making volume sliders go backwards. Turned out there was a Wayland protocol proposal for this stuck in limbo. Poked the relevant people and now it's merged!

@marcan @riesi yep you just need to ask nicely
it's why it took wayland 13 years to get fractional scaling
and took gnome 19 years to get a preview on the file picker

people say it's the developers fault but it really isn't, just entitled users
