> How many other open source projects are going to have some level of trouble keeping up

As developer of another open source project that uses GTK2, I'd note that one of the beautiful things about open source is that for the most part, we do not have to keep up. Worst comes to worst, we dump GTK2 into our source tree ("vendoring") and keep using it.

I know that you have good reasons, but this (the clear message regarding staying with GTK+2 and thus no native Wayland) is what drove me away from Ardour.

What on earth would native Wayland bring you, as an Ardour user?

Convenience of being able to use it on someone’s current machine.

What Wayland-using system does not run an X server?

There are hundreds to hundreds-of-thousands of applications that do not have a native Wayland version? Are you suggesting that you would not run any of them either?

Didn’t realize it was backward compatible without limitations. (also my posting is limited so couldn’t respond until now.)
