Note commentary (and Wayland attitude) at following discussion:

   https://www.reddit.com/r/xfce/comments/10609bg/wayland/

One comment:

] For many Linux users, Wayland in its current state does not solve any
] problem or offer any particular benefit sufficient to justify replacing
] X11 with it. This is especially true of those who prefer to stick with
] stable conventions rather than prematurely adopt novel solutions, who
] account for a large proportion of the XFCE userbase and its development
] community.
