Yeah, I am staunch proponent of "don't try to fix what is not broken". Current XFCE is fast, light-weight, usable and works fine without major issues. While I don't fully understand the advantages / disadvantages of XFCE using Wayland instead of X, if, as someone else pointed out here on HN, running XFCE on Wayland is going to make it slower, it means these developers will be crippling one of XFCE's strongest feature. In that case other minor advantages seems pointless to users like me.

Citation. None of the other desktops have slowed with Wayland, and gaming is as fast as, if not marginally faster on KDE/Gnome with Wayland vs LXDE on X.
