WayCooler tried to do this, sadly it was abandoned but the author explains some things here. It's long so if you wanna skip some stuff it talks about awesome at the end of the post.

@Elv13 This comment aged very well !

@foxjaw I guess whatever you read was an inaccurate re-hash of the official info. The only thing that Fedora 40 will drop is the X11 Plasma Session.
Xorg packages and friends are deprecated, but still pending "to be removed in a future major RHEL release" (fedoraproject.org).

So despite being about a version from 1.5 years ago, Elv's comment still stands: Xorg won't be running by default, but you should still be able to install it as usual.

You can drag this as much as you want though. I still believe awesome users won't feel awesome using deprecated projects by then.
I think complete deprecation will be around 2032 Q1. That's still ample time to even write awesome from scratch.

Feel free to get started then.
None of us ever said that we wouldn't want Wayland compatibility. But we all have our own lives to live, and our own things to do.
People can pout all they want, this is still a hobby project of people donating their free time. Usually based on their own needs first.

But plenty of bug bounty sites exist if you feel like you need to raise the incentive.
