"Progress Report", "Goals", "Status" doesn't make it sound like a Vulkan 1.0 release with drivers is likely next week.
It will be interesting to hear about the Window system integration. I hope they have a Wayland extension.
It's interesting that Samsung holds the WSI Talk. Bryce Harrington of Samsung is also currently in charge of Wayland/Weston project leadership.
Does Wayland need an extension? Shouldn't Wayland create a Vulkan backend?

Besides, OpenGL is just a API spec. It shouldn't define how the spec is implemented. If such a wrapper library does appear, it will be a separate project (GLLib or something), not part of the OpenGL spec itself.

And Wayland itself won't have any such backend - that is up to compositors, such as Weston, Mutter, and KWin.
