Kind of shows everyone was over-reacting when stating Mir was going to complicate the already complicated graphics stack!

Kind of the opposite really.

It was obvious that Mir could only become reality after all the years of hard work that was done for Wayland.

Now Mir is using even more of the Wayland stack, which is a good thing but it leaves the question over why they decided to duplicate that work. The reasons do not seem to be technical in nature.

Really nice that they are adopting libinput.
So that X, Wayland and Mir will all run on one common input library.

All input drivers will be based off libinput and all OpenGL graphics drivers will work through EGL support. Not only that, logind will be controlling user sessions. Systemd and the underlying stack of Wayland that took 6+ years to write is not only simplifying the stack for desktops that implement the Wayland protocol but also for Unity and X.org/XWayland!

I find it quite ironical, because the main excuse for mir was that input handling in wayland sucked or something like that.
