Really? Chromium already has a fairly functional Wayland port [0] and Firefox just needs to upgrade to GTK 3, which is (admittedly optimistically) targeted for 32 [1].

EDIT: Now running the GTK 3 Firefox port in a GNOME Wayland session, and it's working great!

I didn't see it in the release notes, but the last version of Bluez (bluetooth) is finally supported! http://worldofgnome.org/gnome-3-10-port-to-bluez-5/

How can you take that serious? I call that a waste of precious screen real estate. A desktop workstation is not a freaking tablet...
