Even though this is the upstream description, I find it confusing because it suggests that sddm itself supports running on Wayland, which isn't true. So -1 from me.

My understanding is mentioning Wayland means sddm allow wayland sessions to run as well as X11 because not all display managers currently allow you to run wayland. There is some development done in sddm to allow it to run wayland. If your argument is neither X11 nor wayland should be mentioned, that's fine but using over the other let me feel there is something wrong. Beside Arch Linux is always about keeping upstream as it is and if there is something wrong upstream, it should be filed there. Though this is very trivial, I came across it when I bravely insanely thought about removing all X11-related packages and test with wayland only ;)
