A year and a half ago, shortly after the GNOME 45 release, I opened a pair of Pull Requests to deprecate and remove the X11 Session. A lot has happened since. The GNOME 48 release addressed all the remaining blocking issues, mainly accessibility regressions, but it was too late in the development cycle to drop...
GDM launches other environments too. I do not think it is about GNOME itself.
A big thing missing from Wayland are all the other X11 window managers (hundreds of them) and desktop environments (like XFCE and Cinnamon) that people may want to use.
Yeah, but Canonical have stated they want X11 session support (for GDM to be able to launch, not necessarily for GNOME’s X11 session), for 26.04 LTS, for one last LTS.
Something tells me Canonical won’t just kneel to THE ALMIGHTY GNOME TEAM
This aged well lol

I know, right? Quite ironic that their own devs were going on about how unhappy they were with GDM dropping X11 session support.

GDM won’t be able to launch X11 environments after GNOME 50 is my understanding.
