> The only people who are saying that remote desktop is the only remoting method supported in Wayland instead of remote windows are totally, utterly, wrong. And have never even tried it. Actually, I think it's the other way around: I'm not sure remote desktop is really supported at all, bar kludges like remoting a new compositor.

Besides, RDP actually supports remote windows for some time now.
