Arrival of Wayland: whats the future of X2Go and NX tecnologies?

As you should know, NX takes total advantage from the XServer protocol. When Wayland gets finally settled on all systems, what will be the future of this awesome tecnology?

The wayland protocol doesn't seem to provide remote rendering or something similar to ssh x-forwarding .

Running xwayland or  a vnc server on top of wayland is one solution , another would be to implement this functionality in wayland compositors.

Weston seems to have free RDP support (archwiki says arch linux weston package doesn't enable that support ).

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

(A works at time B)  && (time C > time B ) ≠  (A works at time C)
