“Like anybody cares for what I think, right? Anyway…
I made a comment in one of these wayland-related news at linuxtoday
and Carla Shroder took the time to ask me:

“”…why all that extra complexity to go back to where we were
in the first place?”

“That’s a fair question. By the way, my love to you, Carla. You
haven’t sent me a comment about pythogoras that I asked you for but
I still love you and care for you. 😀

“Anyways… the thing is this:

“Wayland is going to replace X in Ubuntu and Fedora. That’s
quite a remarkable statement to make.”
