The discussion followed on irc (#xorg-devel), and it appeared the problem was Nvidia wanted to support very old applications doing strange things with GLX.
The conclusion was that it was possible to support DRI3 such a way that these apps would still work, and that Nvidia would return with more
propositions for Xwayland later.
We also talked about Wayland implementation and how they would use their EGLStreams to support the Wayland protocol,
we talked about optimus support and a common configuration file to tell the gpu we want some apps to use.
Nothing official for sure, but be sure that things are beeing worked on.
