Depends on who is defining it.

This is why Fedoras decision irks me a bit.

I utilise X specific things, so its fine if some people don't care and
just want Wayland, but the choice should remain.

Yeah, I know.  What is your point?  The point I made is stil valid.

Your “point” seems to be that somebody should do a lot of work maintaining
some old software just to make you happy.
