At least general X11 support is still there and for long in UI toolkits, meaning that we will still be able to use alternatives like mate, xfce, etc. Let's hope that they don't ditch X11 in Gtk anytime soon but it does not seem to be planned for Gtk 5 [0]. What's questionable is that wayland has still various issues towards input management: I still can't get any VNC on GNOME, proper input grabbing in qemu leading me to use X.Org most of the time even outside of OpenBSD.
