It means you can't use openbox (or any other desktop-independent WM)
with wayland at all.  It's a completely different model.

You may be able to configure fedora to avoid wayland for a while, but
given the close relationship between that distro and Gnome, it's
probably not going to last.  At some point you'll have to choose between
fedora and openbox.

Don't blame the messenger :-(
