[LightDM] LightDM and MIR

[David Edmundson]

In light (pun not intended) of the announcement here
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MirSpec what does this mean for  LightDM being a
viable free desktop display manager.

The diagram shows the system compositor as being launched by LightDM in
much the same way X is, and the plan looks very much like what we would do
for Wayland.
Is MIR going to be a hard dependency? Is Wayland support going to be
dropped from plans? Could it support all 3 systems? Would Wayland related
patches be rejected?

Working towards getting KDE move towards LightDM has been a constant uphill
battle with the politics, and this is just arming everyone with reasons why
a LightDM dependency would be bad for us.

More warning on this would have been nice.
