What about deep color support in Wayland?

Not a issue for wayland protocol as it only cares about buffers past by fd and those buffers could contain anything. So its just compositors and graphics subsystems implementing the feature deep color nothing in Wayland itself need to change.

This is one of the changes about wayland that is just great. The protocol no longer need modification every time we need a new buffer type.

So with wayland is more a question does mesa and the lower drivers parts support deep color as well as the compositor. There was a prototype tested wayland with 16 bit per channel colour without changing anything protocol and that was achived by patching mesa and using a compositor that supported it.
