Move to Wayland
Increasing efforts are going into Wayland as the future of the display server in Linux. Moving to Wayland by Red Hat 7 may be early, but not impossible.
Include as a technology preview perhaps if timescales are tight?
Backwards compatibility is built in from what I can tell. Network transparency is also on the todo list (albeit not as near the top as I'd like). Having said that, I'd like to see SPICE pushed as a networked connectivity layer for GUI sessions regardless of whether they are physical or virtual.
Responses
In RHEL6, spice is already an available option for virtual displays over a network alongside vnc.
In addition, I second the call for moving to include Wayland in RHEL7. I expect that it will have gotten greater adoption by then.

I am not a part of desktop engineering, but from my understanding, the effort is better spent in smoothing out the current desktop expierence than fixing wayland.
For a long term goal of X, do check out http://lwn.net/Articles/413335/ . Hopefully, by rhel8 we will probably be using wayland, or X(NextGen-something) .
