I'm not a developer but my guess is that X's 25 year old codebase is 
dragging along a tremendous amount of dead/unused/legacy code while 
Wayland is just a couple of years old and does not have that baggage. 
There are a fair amount of videos about Wayland and the website can 
probably provide you with more information:

http://wayland.freedesktop.org/

Also Wayland is in the Fedora 17 yum repository.
