According to this post, Sphinx 2.12.2 supports Wayland, but according to this post Sphinx 2.15 does not. Was support removed at some point?

Could you please add this to the System Requirements page in the Sphinx documentation? The error that comes up when you try to run Sphinx in Wayland is not helpful.
