I see not good technical reason for introducing the change. At least not
nowadays.

And that is one of the reasons I always fear "business decisions" (we
should not forget that Canonical is the company behind Ubuntu) because
"business decisions" can be founded on market/marketing issues and not
technicalities and the latter are the only ones that should lead to these
kind of changes.

Don't be too down on them. Wayland and Unity might really be a good path
forward. It is a grand experiment that can only be executed wholeheartedly
by fiat, and Canonical is taking it on. We in Debian-land get to reap the
benefits of Ubuntu's experiment if they get it working well, but don't have
to deal with the upheaval until a lot of the kinks are smoothed out and
don't have to touch it at all if the experiment fails. I call it win-win
(and I also call it "better you than me").
