Okay, Wayland is the future, blah blah.

Would it be possible/make sense to make a Wayland compositor that would emulate a X11 server so a X11 WM could talk to it and be used to manage windows?

I’m just thinking about how we could make sure that the tons of obscure but cool WMs survive the waypocalypse.

    I don’t think Qtile works off XWayland. IIRC, it’s a proper rewrite using pywlroots.
