Ah, I'd thought it was still considered as a potential replacement for
xkbcomp in the server.   Though now that we have working Intel KMS drivers,
some people have considered porting Wayland as an experiment to see if it
can work (I imagine the input driver support will be their first hurdle, but
no where near as huge as getting a KMS driver into the kernel was).
