Way-not-gonna-land as someone said some years ago. :-P I'm using Wayland for my work now for two years now, and it has been amazing. But then, I rarely do any graphics work.

You say 1 and 7 are project goals but I don't agree and I'll say why:

1. If you are not keeping your project alive and it is useful, then someone else will take your project and keep it more alive. and your influence will reduce. So, assuming that you are a good BDFL, you should make effort that your project is alive so that the BDFL at top is good.

2. The ability to fund people for the project is as much a story of actual resources as it is about the culture. If you do not try funding people right from the start, you will accumulate people are also not that interested in funding people. This means your project will remain a hobbyist project. And this actually impacts 1 because then your project might not be that sustainable.
