I haven't really been following Wayland but I don't see why this will result in a breakup.
Technology splits like this are laced throughout the history of Linux Distro's, arguably it's the reason Linux has progressed at all.
Go and look at how distros like Mandrake/Mandriva came into existence and why. Not sure I see how this is any different. It's all just part of the natural evolution and selection process of FOSS isn't it ?

I gather that Debian is going to go down the Wayland route. Ubuntu is following Mir which I gather has given problems to Lubuntu, Xubuntu and Kubuntu.

I am just wondering what will happen to the Debian derivative family - seems a break up is likely in 2015-2016. Be interested to hear from those in development what the future possibly holds.
