This is what the feature page said would happen in the first place. So
I'm also confused why you didn't just do that.

Okay, I'll try and be a little less pissed off at disabling features users
use, that we've spent years implementing in X/GNOME.
The fact you are requesting wayland by default while we still have the following list:
Close all remaining feature parity gaps between the Wayland and the X11 session:
input methods
on-screen keyboard
hi-dpi support
clipboard proxy for xwayland
attached modal dialogs
tablet support
startup notification
touch proxy for xwayland
accessibility features
output rotation
These are just the missing features (never mind dialog boxes in wierd places bugs)
and it doesn't even contain the USB output hotplugging, or secondary GPU output use cases.
So maybe I'm getting old, but I thought we were over shoving half-baked onto users now,
Maybe implement all those features, get them into the non-default wayland session,
then go lobby for enabling the wayland session by default, otherwise I feel you are
putting the cart before the horse.
Dave.
