Here is a better write-up:

[wayland] **Improved support**

Throughout 2020, Gentoo has steadily improved Wayland support across the
distribution. This has included major desktop environments such as KDE Plasma and
Gnome to lightweight implementations such as Sway and Wayfire. This progress
has led to a mature experience and the possibility of running a desktop free of
Xorg and x-wayland.

We look forward to continuing these improvements in 2021!
