This exists and everyone is free to take the x11 code that is currently 
in KWin, Plasma and other related components and use it. When that code 
is removed from KDE repositories, anyone is free to maintain their own 
patch set on top of KDE's code to re-enable x11. I think that is the 
freedom we all have with open source code.

I have been Wayland only with all of my devices for about 2 years now 
and haven't found a need to go back. The amount of things that *require* 
x11 are almost nil. XWayland supports a great deal of things 
transparently, so much that I often forget it exists.

There is (from my understanding) basically no need to continue using X, 
many distros are now defaulting to it and the major players are 
intending to drop it because it is old and practically unmaintained, as 
well as having (again from my understanding) multiple issues in relation 
to security.
