You are totally free to work on whatever you want to. You don't have to use the software that the Wayland devs (and other developers that like Wayland) produces. You can use and code whatever you want.
So you've managed to get redhat to commit to continue to package an X server, then? I'm impressed by this achievement and send my thanks for your efforts - they've been trying to drop it for a while now, it's only wayland's continuing status as unusable vapourware that stops them.
So to be clear, you're saying that you've spoken to the management at my company and convinced them to switch away from redhat?
If you could post a link to a copy of the email from the higher-ups, just so I have it in writing, that'd be rad. Thanks! :)
(and just to head off your next comment, no, it's not my choice, because I happen to like food and shelter)
Thanks for playing
