@ebassi @dickon @marcan I think that most people don't really care whether there's real network transparency or not, they just want to type "ssh -Y host", launch a GUI application and see it pop up on their screen. It looks like waypipe could provide this kind of experience but I haven't tried it yet so I don't know if it's full of papercuts

Most people don't care whether network transparency exists at all. People whose workflow includes remote devices mostly use pure ssh or locally running software accessing remote files or software with a proper client / server split. People who genuinely use it are a tiny niche and for basically all those use cases X network transparency is a hack in the first place. It is quite telling that no one cared about network transparency when designing Wayland.
