On one hand, X desperately needed a clean rewrite, at least 30 years ago.
On the other... despite some experienced X people being among Wayland
developers, there's too much bizarre stuff like:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/Wayland/PrimarySelection
So grudgingly the idiots agreed to "consider" bringing back a reduced form
of mouse paste "to ease the transition for long-term X users".
Because, you know, that's an obscure easter egg. And "there are few middle
mouse buttons in the world" (have you seen a mouse without a middle button
this millenium?).
