Remoting a wayland application is _trivial_. Either to an X or to a wayland view system. It's hard to make wayland remoting less flexible than X over the network, since the natural remoting level (surface updates) is basically stateless unlike X's sixteen complete IPC interfaces, and unlike X you're actually guaranteed that the window surfaces exist and have meaningful content. So you get the long-lusted-for "screen for X" almost for free.
I think what's missing is a concrete demonstration to point to of remoting of a Wayland native client window to wrap our heads around how different (easy or hard) it is. When the time comes to introduce initial wayland packages into Fedora having the ability to demonstrate a native toy Wayland client rendered remotely (and securely from say a virtualized host) is probably something to shoot for.
