I am very much a special case
I highly doubt X11 will actually become unmaintained just because RedHat stops using it. If it does and actually stops *working* I will see, probably end up writing my own wayland compositor, just like I currently have my own X11 desktop. Or maybe there will be some Wayland compositor out there that meets my needs, though I doubt it. I basically use only three graphical programs: The browser (written by myself, vise based on Qt), the terminal emulator (written by myself, kitty, renders straight to OpenGL) and calibre (maintained by myself based on Qt). So writing a compositor that works well with these three will be relatively easy and let me avoid most of the wayland headaches by making it actually consistent and well designed (at least as far as the core wayland protocol allows good design which is admittedly not very far) and tested for myself.
The rest of the Wayland ecosystem can go jump off a cliff.
