Wayback is a Wayland compositor whose sole purpose is to run XWayland, so that X11 DEs can continue to work even without X.org to drive hardware.

It won't solve the future problem of newer applications dropping X11 support completely; at the moment, the only way I'm aware of to solve that is to run a Wayland compositor like Weston as a nested application inside your X11 session.
