Official Wayland Support Postponed From GNOME 3.12

Posted by Soulskill on Friday February 28, 2014 @06:06AM from the wayland-waylaid dept.

An anonymous reader writes "GNOME 3.12 was going to have official Wayland support as one of its main features for the upcoming desktop release. The developers have now decided to delay the official Wayland support until at least GNOME 3.14 while the support found there will be shipped as a preview. Missing features like drag 'n' drop and clipboard support are still missing from GNOME's Wayland code, which made them decide another six months of development work is needed. Other GNOME 3.12 features are mentioned on the GNOME Wiki."

I thought Gnome was going to remove support for drag-n-drop and clipboard anyway. Those things are options in all other OSes, right? And they are too complicated and nobody uses them, right?
