Wayland is nothing but community involvement, arguably to its detriment, because it is implemented independently by community projects.

There is no "Wayland" that can stop being developed. It is a protocol and a consensus, nothing more.

The only real Wayland community effort is Hyprland. The author of that has been banned from contributing to Wayland by the corporate sponsors of Wayland.

Hence there is no community.

Also the whole "there is no Wayland" "it's just a protocol" spiel has been played so often that I believe Wayland apologists are mostly bots.

Sway and wlroots are also real community projects with no big corporate sponsors. Its main contributors are also very active in the development of wayland protocols.

The current main contributor is 100% corporate sponsored mostly through fronts like Igalia.

So why did you not then state that you only follow a puritan definition of contributors to wayland instead of moving the goal post.
