No, if you take that for serious you're either an idiot or the commenter is a killer, none of which applies to the subject of Linux graphics devs.
Besides, you are very uninformed if you think no person is crazy enough to make death threats about silly things. Really.

Of course not seriously, but exaggeration of an actual oppositional feeling? Yeah.

Reading comprehension? It is written, but it is a description of the previous, SYNC behaviour that this ASYNC implementation was made to fix.
It adds a new boolean option "AsyncFlipSecondaries" to the device section of xorg.conf. If this option is specified as true, then DRI3 pageflip behaviour changes as follows:

That's possible because unlike on X11 there's no "global" VSync on Wayland. Clients receive frame callbacks (or/and presentation times) for the screens they are visible on. Clients on different screens don't need to be in sync.

That's where the misunderstanding comes from. You are talking about reasonable, I am talking about crazy people on the internet. Anonymous losers do make death threats, and also do them to anonymous losers as well as to people of actual relevance. Of course, if we assume you are reasonable, it is obviously a joke. But it's something you should not assume of strangers on the internet.
