Hello Marek,

it's just that those explanations never ended up in git. A user was
complaining about the Wayland breakage and the fact that the commit (he
found it completely by himself, even!) gave absolutely no hint as to
why. So I needed to seach the email archives for this thread, because I
remembered it was discussed and the reason was here.

I just wish you had copied it to the commit message. Cover letters do
not end up in the git history.

Not a problem anymore for me personally, since I have now bookmarked the
thread so I can easily point people to it.

The discussion about how to add the Wayland support back is now open at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86701
since there is an actual use case reported (testing GL apps inside
qemu).


Thanks,
pq
