This is a project that aims to replace one of the most longstanding
Unix/Linux components (X is older than Linux), but it's everyone
else's responsibility to make sure it works?
AFAIK Wayland is not just a rewrite of the X server and libraries but a
redesign of the X protocol, i.e. it's not ABI compatible. So yes, it is
up to apps that do low-level X stuff (such as window managers) to change
or where possible use a compatibility layer.
