Hi,

I updated this change here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/WaylandByDefault

to point to Fedora 24 (was Fedora 23 before)

Upstream I changed wayland as the default session:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/commit/?id=6cd2d248250f08b033fac6dffdc95e2dc83ffb4a
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-session/commit/?id=88584e96f306aea22c79e1fd770aebf0eaed7b0e

(along with some changes in mutter and gnome-shell)

and downstream I built snapshots of the changes, which I announced here:

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2015-November/216690.html

So starting tomorrrow wayland should be the default session in rawhide. Hopefully it
sticks for Fedora 24!
