Are there any plans to move forward and try to coordinate applications rewrite/adaptation ?
I'm not in love with wayland, but isolating graphical applications for each other seems a legitimate concern (see https://theinvisiblethings.blogspot.com/2011/04/linux-security-circus-on-gui-isolation.html for example).

Now that Ubuntu has given up on Wayland by default, I'm afraid there is
now less incentive for transitioning to the security model wayland wants
to impose. So what? Should we use firewalld instead of ufw?
