This shoehorning of Rust feels more artificial than Wayland's. ๐ค
Uhm, what?
Wayland has been in the works for more than a decade. Granted, there's some people having issues with it, with propietary hardware (nVidia) and not-so-common setups like two monitors, but it happens that they are the most noisy. For the rest of us it's been great, stable, and feels snappier than X.
If you want to talk about shoehorning stuff into Debian, talk about systemd.

I assume "weird two-monitors setups" that are not so common, not two-monitor setups as a whole, as Wayland works perfectly with two monitors. It even works way better than X11 if your monitors are different, like if only one has VRR or if both monitors need different scaling.
