Better safe than sorry
I may not know all the ins and outs of the matter at hand (I mean despite carefully reading the whole Wayland CSD thread and understanding the arguments from both sides), but as far as I'm concerned, being unable to enforce proper behavior completely defeats the whole purpose of things like operating/window system (pardon my ignorance, but I'm simply thinking of a window system/compositor as a sort of "operating system for application viewports").
And don't get me started with the old "then just don't install/run it" argument, because how am I supposed to know which crap to avoid until I execute the damn thing and it completely screws up my desktop?

It's easy enough to deal with unresponsive apps. In fact, Kristian's solution is more work than it's worth. Just do what Windows does and create a frame on the fly for unresponsive apps which is owned by the window manager (in this case, Wayland).

If this kind of behavior can be implement while preserving the flexibility of CSD, then go ahead and do it. This is essentially "CSD unless the app does something really dumb, then SSD steps in and saves the user from a kill -9". Perfect.

- explorer.exe crashes
- it hangs
- it fades back
- I might get a dialog to close the app
In no case does happen what was described...

Plus it is always fun to speculate on a display system that will go nowhere as long as it is unsupported by nVidia and AMD.
Wayland seems to be gaining some traction so i believe that nvidia and AMD will support it at some point. Time will tell.
