Wayland, a New X Server For Linux 487

An anonymous reader writes "Phoronix has a new article out on Wayland: A New X Server For Linux. One of Red Hat's engineers has started writing a new X11 server around today's needs and to eliminate the cruft that has been in this critical piece of free software for more than a decade. This new server is called Wayland and it is designed with newer hardware features like kernel mode-setting and a kernel memory manager for graphics. Wayland is also dramatically simpler to target for in development. A compositing manager is embedded into the Wayland server and ensures 'every frame is perfect' according to the project's leader."

I'm not saying I support this in any way but here is my 2c anyway:

If you wanted to implement this kind of control, wouldn't it be more practical to make what Adobe is doing a 'feature' of printers and other imaging hardware? So instead of not being able to open/edit/save the file, you just can't print it.

Sure you can transfer the image electronically (email, web etc.) but what good is it if you can't print it out?
