The problem is not KDE SIG not support X11, the problem is KDE SIG want drop X11 and force user to use wayland .
Looking from the side I wonder If its the SIG or more the circumstances that everything is in a forward flow and the SIG is facing it. So, if the best time was not two or one year ago, and obviously also not now. When then? The fact is that there must be a point in time when the display server takes an evolution step forward.
Pressure in such transition helps to get forward, so I understand the SIGs POV. Albeit, from the practical POV there are some issue and therefore X11 is still the place to be.
Maybe some elaboration should be done about the current state of X11 vs Wayland (is it just nvidia?) and a timeframe calculation to have a resolution. Maybe it won't look so bad then and a interim solution is then more acceptable.
I have an obvious answer is when the authors decide, in this case Xorg, when Xorg decides that it will stop supporting X11, like happened to Python2 or PHP5 and 7 or Gnome
In fact, it is something I've been thinking about, IMHO, downstream shouldn't decide when software is deprecated or not like KDE and Red HAt did , it's weird to me [1], although in RHEL we could have the packages via EPEL, I think, and RHEL 10 is only in a year and a half
