Across various systems I have over ~10 different branches that cover
egl, gbm and friends.
I have to admit that the goal is very admirable, but it would
seriously hinder attempts to get those sorted.

If the key issue is wayland-drm - we should be able to move the XML
file to wayland-protocols?
This way it will be a bit more straightforward, we can drop the 4
copies of it with a single canonical one.

I'll same a patch for that later on today/early tomorrow.
