Wayland lacks a lot of features that exist in X.org, currently.  I think 
the idea that X11 can't be fixed, as presented in the first link, is 
overstated.  X11 can definitely lock keyboard and mouse access, though 
that functionality isn't used in all of the places that it's needed.  A 
lot of my interest in Wayland is hope that they don't make input 
handling *worse* than X11.
