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.

Xmonad was originally redesigned for X11, but Brian McKenna has made it work with the Mac OS X native windowing API. Surely doing Wayland as well is not much more difficult than OS X?
