If this is going to make it easier for developers develop for it, then this is good news. Speaking of things to make development easier, one thing that I've been wondering is that if OpenGL support (as opposed to OpenGL ES) is added to Wayland and Wayland eventually fully replaces X (I realize this may take many years), then would it be easier for developers to develop open source graphics drivers because it would be for Wayland, instead of X?

I can imagine this being nice as a fallback that always works. Just like the VESA Xorg driver now.

Originally posted by thefirstmA very good thing, only if you like slow 2D, slow/incomplete 3D, no/incomplete video acceleration, and high power usage.
Oh wait...
