Anyone know if wayland will support remote "clients" and local "servers" the way X does today? What about xdmcp? Losing either would be quite disruptive for me....
There is currently no network transparency (thus no xdmcp either) in Wayland. Although the primary developer has left the possibility open that in the future some remote display support could be added.
Of course it is something that could be shimmed into another part of the stack by (NX, VNC, etc) as it has been on Windows for instance.
Until either of those happen, X will still happily coexist with Wayland.
While wayland-native applications would not be network transparent (as wayland does not support this), you would still be able to run X11 applications over the network. You can run X11 applications in Wayland (like OSX) so you can also run remote X11 applications in Wayland (like OSX).
