Quoting: MohandevirMmmm... Wondering if it has something to do with MIR and Ubuntu announced xorg "legacy" support...

Just hypothetical but MIR is coming to Unity (Ubuntu) and Canonical could decide to implement the support for the SteamOS version of Xorg. I might be wrong.

This would explain why Ubuntu is still recommended by Valve for developpers but it would cause à lot of problems to other distros if they intend to drop Xorg in favor of Wayland...
There is still xmir and xwayland for xorg support but steamos and many other distros will stick with xorg for quite a while ahead display server is quite a vital component that just has to work I doubt valve would want to make a switch and risk braking steamos boxes with out a proven track record for ither mir/wayland.
