Yes, in the sense that sway, river, wlroots are well-maintained (or at least, 
up-to-date). I'm told that they work on the desktop, and (even!) telegram-
desktop in Wayland is ok as well.

On the *plasma* side, not so much. I had a brief look at Plasma-Wayland on 
Linux over a year ago, it was not-suitable-for-use on Linux so I haven't 
looked at it on FreeBSD subsequently. It's somewhere on my todo list (and on 
Tobias's, since like everyone we know X is at its last release).

14 fail / 43 today.

I suppose it's "fine", because I doubt I'll have time to dig into this soon; 
the first test I look at (testidle) looks more like a failure in file watching 
than a Wayland problem, really. At some point we'll need to dig into these 
unittests (like you prompted me to do with kcoreaddons &c).
