From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think they are taking a careful approach since there are still apps out there that don't work on Wayland. For example TeamViewer.
Personally I don't mind if they take their time to evaluate it, try it and see how best to integrate it. Rather than just rush in and break a whole lot of stuff.
I don't think the "some apps don't work with Wayland" argument is particularly valid any more. The vast majority do, and most of those that don't are outdated anyway. Gnome ships with it by default and KDE is really close to that point as well.
There really shouldn't need to be any debate whether to implement it or not at this point- clinging on to X11 is just delaying the inevitable.
