About time to be honest to go by the year. Still though many years and still no stable Wayland, and honestly with the support team Mint has, no excuse for this.

Support team Mint has? They have a small team relative to other distros. Granted part of that is offset by shared codebase with Ubuntu, but it is small. Especially on the Cinnamon side where they are having to build something more specific since it is the upstream.
