OK, I am getting the picture now:

I was under the impression from Daniel Stone's writings that wayland was 
only part of the rendering chain.  Daniel had made the point that X was 
this horror of a monolithic bit of code (which he had spent too much of 
his life on) and that wayland would allow the compartmentalisation of 
the code.

 From what has been said here it seems that the monolith is back.
