From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Like it or not Wayland is going to be the future of Desktop Linux. Preparing for that future is a good thing.
OK but it's not ready now, objectively speaking. Don't you think it's a bit of a dick move from your OS to ship a version that breaks VNC and doesn't offer an alternative?
