Wayland 1.20 Alpha Released With Upstreamed FreeBSD Support, Autotools Nuked

Who cares?

Someone, certainly, did, or Wayland would not be "just" a protocol, what ended been a stupid idea for a graphic foundation build around linux and for linux, and the 13+ years that it took to be barely usable is a testimony of it. We still have, so far, 4 competing, evolving, and duplicated, in effort sense, implementations of the basic blocks, but I hope they will, eventually, decrease to 2, as I don't see Gnome devs merging their efforts with others. We will see.

Will NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFlyBSD support Wayland?
Will Illumos or OpenIndiana support Wayland?
Will any of the old proprietary Unixes like IBM AIX, HP-UX and Oracle Solaris support Wayland?

Why do wayland threads always make 4chan sound coherent in comparison

What does "upstreamed FreeBSD support" mean? Arent these meant to be protocols implemented by the OS or distro? Was there some protocol that was ingerently incompatible?

The Wayland project also includes stuff like libwayland.
