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/
