Perhaps long-term the issue might be whether it's ported to new CPU
architectures like RISCV? That's a long way off though, there might even
be a replacement for Wayland by then.

 
Linux already runs on RISC-V.

That itself doesn't imply much because X.org has its own
architecture-dependent code, but I see that Debian does have
riscv64 package for X.org so I guess it does work.

The current development version of the release notes document
still doesn't mention it though, so possibly unofficial?

"Xorg currently has support for Linux, Solaris, and some BSD OSs on
 Alpha, PowerPC, IA-64, AMD64, Intel x86, Sparc, and MIPS
 platforms."
