That if it is NOT Open Source...

X without network is not X
Wayland with the X network protocol, is just X

So Wayland so far IS NOT an evolution of X, its a replacement, more centered around the "mobile" side(superphones/tablets and such)... and some how the agenda is against the possibility of OpenVPN home, and go by there virtue of X(something similar)... this interests going behind wayland want all going true the web(no private network for the desktop, only the public be available).

If Wayland is F/OSS, it might be that a couple of crazy gits decide to include the pertinent features in X itself... and you know what!?... this X system is faster and better in all aspects than Wayland...

Nothing particularly against wayland... go ahead please... but don't try to sabotage anyone else...

Absolute rubbish. Wayland is designed around the requirements of modern graphics hardware, and around the ways in which usage of X has changed over the years -- unless you think that all usage of Gtk and Qt is on smartphones and tablets, that is (which would, of course, be wrong).

If Wayland is F/OSS

If? If? You haven't even done that much research? Googling for 'Wayland', clicking on the first link, and clicking on 'Wayland FAQ' tells you as much in the second FAQ item.

Sheesh.

a couple of crazy gits decide to include the pertinent features in X itself

Given that most of the 'pertinent features' consist of getting X out of the way, something you can't do to an X server and still call it an X server, I'd say that this feature is self-contradictory (or, alternatively, has already been done: we call it DRI.)
