BTW - I've no idea how good Mir is, it might be the best piece of tech in the world, but news like this make me regret that Ubuntu abandoned Wayland, simply a wide adoption across different projects is important...

That said, this does make Wayland more attractive on other Raspberry Pi distros as a potential windowing system since it's lighter than X11 and is accelerated on the Pi.

Something missed to highlight is that it's important to add that this is only initial support of Wayland into XBMC to get them started on using it all.
So it not yet a fully featured production ready feature in XBMC just by adding this initial patch, see the full description of the patch by smspillaz
http://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/2978Implemented initial support for display and input on wayland compositors
...
The following items are not implemented yet:- Dirty regions (requires core work to support EGL_EXT_buffer_age)
That means that XBMC rendering will indeed not yet be close to efficient on Wayland until Dirty Regions / Dirty Texture support is also added later.
It is at least a very good start, and other developers will begin to assist on this too now that Wayland support is in upstream in XBMC mainline
