It’s just a “joke” about the method name.

What X11-only apps/programs did you need xwayland for?

I actually always disabled xwayland whenever I experimented with wayland (weston and sway), because everything I use is supported natively, and I wanted to make sure the native support was forced.

I’m not abandoning my Awesome WM setup anytime soon personally. But I thought it’s worth sharing this perspective from someone who knows this stuff much better than me.
