One thing I saw in comments about the removal of xorg server is that some might not see how much work is/was to maintain xorg server. I understand is hard to see from outside, but maintaining xorg server with the standards we have in RHEL is not a small beast. Let me share some:
This is a terrible recommendation and I hope as few people follow it as possible.
People like you are why Linux has a reputation for always being broken; as soon as we get something that works and is stable, we gotta move to the next broken thing.
The same thing will be said about Wayland in 20 years, if it ever reaches feature-parity with X.

Oh yeah?
That must explain why Xorg always crashes and burns when I don’t use the correct combination of desktop environment, compositor and driver version.
Let’s not ignore that Xorg doesn’t and never has been working for everyone. At least default to the sane option with a future.
User error. If X is too difficult for you to use, maybe you should try Windows.
Moving to an even more broken option isn’t a good solution.
