Wayland is not X11, and so it needs not be compatible in any way. Yet, X11 applications run just fine under Wayland (by means of XWayland).
How can you possibly call this behavior "being loud about breaking compatibility"? In any case, it's just the opposite!

Honest questions:
* is XWayland already working?
* is Qt/Wayland working?
* is Kdelibs/Qt/Wayland working?
To the other side:
* is Qt/Mir already working?
* is Kdelibs/Qt/Mir working?

> Honest questions:
Don't ask people that like wayland — they will say you that it works. Don't ask people that hate wayland — they will tell you that it's not. Download livecd and try it yourself: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rebeccablackos/
