RHEL announces they will be going with Wayland beginning with RHEL 10.
here's the announcement:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 plans for Wayland and Xorg server

We’ve decided to remove Xorg server and other X servers (except Xwayland) from RHEL 10 and the following releases. Xwayland should be able to handle most X11 clients that won’t immediately be ported to Wayland, and if needed, our customers will be able to stay on RHEL 9 for its full life cycle...

I'm actually a bit surprised that they've taken this long to do so.

After switching from nvidia to radeon I can see why distros are moving to wayland.

Is this important to their business customers? I'd like to see somebody posting on this forum or anywhere else, from strictly the business point of view. Because this "Wayland kills X-dot-org" thing might be more hype. Might indicate more precisely than ever the gap between rich and poor, between "traditional" Linux users and the equipment-filled enthusiasts. In before KDE Plasma v6, immutable "Numbic Numbat" and many more surprises.
