Today I had to do a Wayland related patch in WxWidgets affecting Plasma.

Before starting I had the impression that it was a super-crufty super-old super-dead project.

I will admit publicly I was super-wrong; the code in the areas I looked was pretty decent and the review process has been modern and very fast.

New safe advice for FOSS developers; always leave review comments like a YouTuber is about to do a Video on it.

Fun updated stats on Wayland vs X11 within Plasma.

- 100% of all git-master testers with metrics enabled ran Wayland.

- Even though our overall conversion rate for all users on Plasma 6.x is around 80%, if we filter in on just Plasma 6.5.x users, we're at around a 95% crossover.
