Conclusions
| Document |
Decision |
conclusions/conclusion-xfce-wayland-readiness-2026-10-27.md |
Xfce Wayland is an experimental preview, not parity; X11 stays first-class; readiness table per component. |
conclusions/conclusion-xfwl4-parity-gap-register.md |
Parity is five backlogs: protocols, session model, compositor-internal settings, desktop integration, X11 compatibility. |
conclusions/state-october-2026.md |
Superseded early concurrent draft; kept for the record, points to the readiness conclusion. |
