I don't have such a plan yet.
May I ask why not?
Most major Desktops have moved to Wayland, or are in the process of ... e.g. Gnome3 is using Wayland by default. Wayland gives a much better/Faster/Slicker responding Desktop than Xorg, and is lighter on resources ..
SInce deepin-mutter does already support Wayland, what would be the roadblocks to adding Wayland support?

2017-07-10 05:47 deepin I've browsed some code, and it looks like there is quite some progress.
A simple example:
Copy the Code
Copy the Code
as one of the options.
And on the Deepin Mutter component
As for older applications xwayland will provide support. It seems like all the pieces are there.
A simple example:
- 'deepin-wm --help' shows
- --wayland Run as a wayland compositor
as one of the options.

2018-12-15 01:07 deepin As what I can see. There are some major issues with Wayland.
1. Wayland is not stable yet, nobody want to experience how all the windows crash at the same time. Switching to it is irresponsible for Deepin's users.
2. It do not support proprietary drivers very well. At this stage, it is nothing more than a Geek's toy.
3. Last but not the least, Deepin Desktop Environment(DDE) use many internal APIs of X11. To support Wayland, DDE need to undergo a major refactoring. That's a huge amount of resources. A small company like Deepin cannot blindly invest in something without a significant benefit.
At this stage, they are still keen on squeezing more performance out of existing stacks instead of switching to a new stack. New Technology has new issues to fix. You just cannot consider the new technology can be a magic pill that automatically solves all the problems.
