  A lot of this is still up in the air, but here's the rough plan:
  
  0. X11 will remain unchanged. The feature set of Activities will remain unchanged.
  
  1. For 5.14, we want to have virtual desktops working on Wayland, with feature \
parity to X11. Activities will not yet work on Wayland. The new Wayland protocol \
allows windows to be on more than one desktop and it allows for multiple concurrently \
active desktops, but these abilities will not be used in 5.14, they will only be \
present in the API (hence the API changes).  
  2. For 5.15, we want to sync Activities to virtual desktops on Wayland, meaning \
adding/removing Activities is how you add/remove virtual desktops, and \
switching/activating VDs==switching/activating Activities.  
  That means on Wayland on 5.15+ (if this schedule holds) the default Task Manager \
would just hide all the virtual desktop UI, exposing only the activities UI.
