Regarding #6: please cite your sources on Mir being postponed indefinitely. I can't find anything except that it's now scheduled for 16.04.

Furthermore, Ubuntu mobile will have Mir as part of its stack, so I can't see why they'd postpone it.

For a distro that moves as quickly as Ubuntu does, a two-year delay is about as good as indefinite postponement. In effect, they're saying "We'll watch how the Wayland vs. Mir competition goes." It's just like what happened with Upstart vs. systemd. Just because Canonical has a horse in the race doesn't mean that they won't switch to a different horse when everyone else does.
