"Wayland doesn't mandate any of them."
Of course, just thought I'd clear up any possible misunderstanding.
As far as minimalistic, I wouldn't know. If you don't use any other programs that use them, then I guess they are unnecessary and overkill (he's just doing rectangles and monochrome graphics, after all). But if they were already being used, and there was a way to create a monochrome buffer and use it in the wayland compositor without converting it to some other format (or, even if you used the standard buffer format), then I think they would be fine.
However, I'm guessing he would like to assume his users are using the minimum necessary, in which case they may not be using apps which use cairo, etc..
