Enlightenment Mysteriously Drops Wayland Support

jones_supa writes: According to Enlightenment 0.19.12's release notes, it's an important release that fixes over 40 issues, which is quite something, considering that previous versions had only a few improvements, with most of them being minor. However, the big news is that 0.19.12 drops support for the Wayland display server. Unfortunately, the Enlightenment developers have omitted to mention why they decided to remove any form of support for Wayland from this release, and if it will return in upcoming releases of the software.

It's just nobody's really asking for a replacement
No one asked Henry Ford to make cars, either. This attitude, specifically in technology, is baffling to me.

init really was a bug ridden piece of garbage
Care to point out a couple of those bugs?

SystemD implements everything init did
And a lot more, yes

but does it right.
Hahaha, yeah, it probably looks right from a Windows-centric POV
