This summary is inaccurate. Wayland has a stable protocol and is not

Very well. I sit corrected.
May I suggest that if you feel that you have a good understanding of
this area, that you write an article comparing the two and explaining
the differences? I researched my answers before I posted and spent
half an hour reading up on the subject; clearly I got the wrong
messages from the dozen+ articles I read.
I have never seen a clear, informed description of the similarities
and differences of the 2 main replacements for X.11 anywhere. It is
badly needed.
But there are lots of docs written from the POV of one camp or the
other, singing the praises of their in-house product in vague nebulous
marketing-speak and damning the other. This is no use to anyone.
