Canonical Chose Mir Over Wayland. Is It Matter Of Concern ?
Since last 8-10 months Canonical developers are working on Mir display server(Which is fork of Wayland). While everyone's embracing Wayland, Ubuntu is going for Mir. Maybe Ubuntu's choice is correct as Wayland doesn't fulfills Canonical's requirement (Of single OS running across Tablets, Smartphones, Desktops & Netbooks)
On other hand, Gnome & KDE which are currently on X, will soon be ported to Wayland. These two is the major Opensource community with heavy Project activity & huge amount of commits since last 15 years is going for Wayland/Weston & not Mir.
Also, Intel currently withdrawn their hands from Mir & ubuntu is now on their own as no other distro is planning to move onto Mir. Intel's withdraw is major concern, I guess intel withdraw to maintain XMir patches & not Mir.
However, do you think that Canonical's selection of display server & Mark shuttleworth's dream will be harmful for Ubuntu ?
CEans, I would like to know your opinion (& some more information) on this. I have basic newbie level knowledge for display servers (whether it is X, Wayland/Weston or Mir).
