According to http://vizzzion.org/blog/2013/07/the-next-kubuntu-graphics-stack/ Kubuntu 14.10 will ship with KDE Plasma Workspaces 2 (QT5) that depends on wayland. Will x2go be relevant in this setup? the name suggests a dependency of X.
Obviously X will be around for a fair amount of time, but the new KDE will not run on it.
