Does anyone know why Y-Windows did not become a serious consideration
as the next windowing system after X11?

Yea well, in some ways it has, as the Standard Body of our time
suggests "Y-land" as a successor to the X Window System. :p

Alright alright Im gone already.

I remember Y, probably like Wayland, X is good enough.


But Wayland is a thing only because desktop.org and RHEL is pushing it
on people.  IIRC, Y had no large orgs pushing or supporting it.
