The article also includes a call for developers that want to help support X.



Yes it does, but that's not going to stop people from expressing themselves online or discuss the disadvantages of what's coming.

Besides, realistically speaking, not everyone is capable enough to do that. Their only way to contribute is to let the web know that not everyone prefers Wayland and why. Discussions like these are like feature requests and bug reports, only broader, encompassing multiple projects. Some people might interpret that as entitled b____ing, but then apparently so are feature requests and bug reports sometimes.


It does nothing good. It is not Wayland fault that distribution decided to switch. It is not Wayland fault that no one wants to maintain X.Org.

The right call would be kickstarter, patreon, any kind of sponsorship.
