These are still "DEs."

Many, many people prefer a simple window manager and
the entire legacy of Unix window managers will literally
be wiped out by Wayland.

Wayland is a worthy endeavor, but it also breaks many,
many legacy software packages that are still eminently
useful -- and, regardless of the claims by Wayland
advocates, xwayland CANNOT make up the difference.

Therein lies the problem.  Anything that reduces choice
should be purged from FOSS.

Fortunately, X11 is still being maintained.  For example,
during my latest weekly Gentoo update, libkdbcommon and
xkbcomp were updated:

https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xkbcomp

X11 will be around for a LONG, LONG while.

Wayland and its advocates can all bend over forward
and suck their own cocks.
