I'm not installing Wayland until the bitter end. The day I install
Wayland, my dmenu software breaks, and I use that literally hundreds of
times a day. The day I install Wayland, I can't use my beloved Openbox
window manager anymore. Most important, I keep hearing little voices on
the web imply that Wayland is very closely tied to systemd.

I have no problem with X.
