The wayland protocol is basically feature complete aside from accessibility. The only things I care about that are left are the dbus_annotation protocol and the ext-tray protocol which are quite minor.

accessibility is obviously still important but once there's full protocols for that wayland will finally be done. The accessibility protocols should allow for a full xdotool/autohotkey replacement.
