Ah, yup, i mixed them up. Is it 3 years already?
My point is: as it is, wayland will turn out to have one implementation (because the whole bunch of tasks it handles is complex and there's no compositor-to-app compatibility) and everyone will require that. Or basically a X12.
Edit: nope, it was taskbars/docks that really didn't work on both. Do they now?
I think there will be more collaboration regarding protocols between Gnome, KDE and Sway, but one single implementation? Hardly.
