I still run apps over ssh on my Windows laptop so I'm nervous about the loss of network transparency, but X needs a replacement, and we've known for over 20 years.

waypipe is a proxy for Wayland clients. It forwards Wayland messages and serializes changes to shared memory buffers over a single socket. This makes application forwarding similar to ssh -X feasible.
