the wikipedia article on xmonad states that it is (was?) planned to move to XCB "as soon as bindings are available". So, afais there are quite recent bindings [1]. Is there a good reason why nobody has started on this yet?

Wikipedia is apparently way behind. It was started, and it was stopped because xcb turns out to require a complete redesign of xmonad. Likewise, there is no intent to port xmonad to Wayland; it could not be done as a port, but requires a complete redesign from scratch.

Other people are welcome to do such redesigns if they wish.

thanks for your quick reply. Do you have a pointer to the discussion related to this? I'm curious how difficult it could get. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlClTPUACgkQtVwvsA+W4CA7RwCfXXHSaiU+VhDhxvFDoWdXXD66 y4wAoIBb6WVq6QdLC7ayNcGkcKBArpI0 =68PD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
