But why? What does "wayland" here actually means? Otherwise, looks
similar to "ipv6" virtual category in the past. Easier to list what
doesn't yet or cannot support Wayland.

For example, Porter's Handbook defines "wayland" virtual category as
"Ports to support the Wayland display server". This is ambiguous because
"server" means Wayland compositors, and Xwayland can bridge X11 clients.

Does multimedia/arcan fit "wayland" virtual category? arcan-wayland there
is a Wayland server but also an A12 client, similar to Xwayland.

But not x11-wm/cage?

gamescope does not support running Wayland-only apps like foot. Everything
goes through Xwayland as it primarily targets fullscreen games under Xorg.

$ gamescope -- foot -d none
No CAP_SYS_NICE, falling back to regular-priority compute and threads.

But not x11-wm/plasma5-kwin? KWinFT has X11 window manager + X11 compositor,
full-featured enough to be compatible with Plasma.

alacritty relies on winit for X11 + Wayland support. ports/ have more
winit consumers
