 xfwm4 will continue to work as an X11 window manager as it always has.  Xfce should continue to run on X11, and there are no plans currently to drop support, or change things so parts of the desktop only run properly on Wayland. xfwm4 will continue to work as an X11 window manager as it always has.  Xfce should continue to run on X11, and there are no plans currently to drop support, or change things so parts of the desktop only run properly on Wayland.

 For some extra detail here: if you're not aware, Xfce is made up of quite a few different components, each of which are separate programs.  The only one that is being replaced/rewritten for Wayland is xfwm4.  The rest, fortunately, can be (or have been) modified to serve double duty and can run under both X11 and Wayland, without needing major, fundamental changes.  Those other components are written in C, and nothing is changing there. For some extra detail here: if you're not aware, Xfce is made up of quite a few different components, each of which are separate programs.  The only one that is being replaced/rewritten for Wayland is xfwm4.  The rest, fortunately, can be (or have been) modified to serve double duty and can run under both X11 and Wayland, without needing major, fundamental changes.  Those other components are written in C, and nothing is changing there.
