Not really. Weston uses setuid wrapper to open devices as root, then drops privileges and runs as the user that started it. Similar to how Xorg does things since recently.

In some ways Linux was better when the idea was to support as many devices as possible.... Before we kill anymore functionality, can we make sure that there are viable pathways that actually work for everyone? Maybe that's too much to ask (?).
