It's a long term plan. I think Wayland is one of the parts needed for a modern, secure desktop. The unix model that targets a multi-user machine is obsolete.
So X-session security isn't an issue, then.
The new model is application sandboxing, where you can download a random game from Steam and know it won't secretly spy on you. For that sort of thing to work you can't have every application capable of showing a window being able to capture your keystrokes and record your screen.
I have no faith in sandboxing protecting me from that anyway. I mean, why would I? I don't have a different keyboard and screen for each app.
Wayland is just a waste of time. It's the dev's own time and as long as they don't want to force me to waste my time too they're welcome to do whatever the fuck they like instead of something useful.
