This was one of the reasons I left Fedora and went to Debian.  I had
been tired of the frequent release cycle, and some of the politics, but
the fact they would be earlier than other distros in deprecating X11
pushed me to Debian.  Nothing against Wayland per-se, but it breaks some
X applications, and my Window Manager.

 I stopped using Fedora when they were removing code from openssl for which
they claimed they weren't sure about a patent incumberance.
 It wasn't just flags in the SRPM that disabled elliptical-curve crypto,
they actually took the code for ECC out of openssl.
 I jumped ship to Linux Mint, and I'm much happier for it.
