Please don't.  I have zero reasons to want/enable Wayland bits and deal
with all the extra bloat that comes with it.  Modern FreeBSD/X.org stack
is quite bloated already (e.g. compared with my 8.4-STABLE setup).

Not just FreeBSD, it looks like experimental project even in GNU/Linux,
but most important it is inherently useless in the first place, because
X11 works just fine.

I fully concur.  We really need to slow down the bloat in ports, it is
becoming harder and harder to build/use them on a typical commodity,
moderately capable hardware.
