This is why I wish KDE still did LTS releases. Even though I use Wayland on my systems, I know it doesn’t have feature parity with X11, and that some users may still need X11 for different reasons. If 95% of users are using Wayland, that means there’s 5% that aren’t, and 5% is not an insignificant number. I know there’s other DEs that people can use if they need X11, but that’s missing the point.
I really don’t like this whole “march of progress, legacy can go to hell” mentality.

I mean Debian is LTS in that sense. You’ll be able use the old version with X11 plasma for many many years
Agree, my hope is that wayland devs pick up the pace on the parity issue with an expanding user base.
