That was implied when I mentioned them "reinventing the wheel with their NIH philosophy". The Mir announcement was a complete joke the way they tried to discredit Wayland by making inaccurate statements about it. They cut a lot of ties with the rest of the Linux community that day. They later retracted those inaccurate statements but I'm still yet to hear a valid reason for Mir's existence that explains why they believe their required functionality can't be implemented in Wayland.

...and whatever happened to Mir being shipped by default in Ubuntu 14.04? As far as I'm aware, it's still not ready!

They dropped upstart in favour of the piece of shite that is systemd. Why do they insist on continuing with Mir?
