That's why I've said something like Wayland. I'm pretty sure it's possible to build system which does rendering locally and is backward-compatible, too. Do we want that? That's different question.

Backward compatible with X? The X server can output to Wayland just fine AFAIK so there should be no trouble continuing to use the X protocol for as long as you wish. It's backwards compatible in much the same way XQuartz provides compatibility.
