Does this mean that X11 builds will work better than they currently do? Firefox has been unusable over remote X11 for quite a while now due to the way it renders its main display. The amount of traffic it generates when sending remote X events is so large that the interface is practically unusable. If they're now partitioning Wayland support from X11 and are making the X support compatible with remote X then I'm all for this!
