plasma-workspace doesn't "require" wayland. We use a custom Wayland protocol 
at one place without using Wayland as a windowing system. I will do a blog 
post about what it means exactly when we release 5.2. At the moment Plasma 
still fully requires an X11 session.

KWin doesn't support Wayland.

Yes, the development code for Wayland is in the kwin_wayland binary, but it 
doesn't support starting a Wayland server yet.
