SDL Now Disables Mir By Default In Favor Of Wayland Compatibility

As of today in SDL Git, the Mir back-end is no longer being enabled by default. Ubuntu developer Brandon Schaefer has disabled the Mir back-end for Simple DirectMedia Layer by default, since as he notes, SDL's (more mature) Wayland back-end can be used.
But for those wanting to still use the direct Mir back-end, the code is still there and just needs the --enable-video-mir switch at build time, but we'll see if it ends up getting stripped out in the future.
