Oh totally, I prefer it as well. I'm just saying that 'Wayland' is
stuck here: without validateUsage() actually validating usage (ditto
the KMS driver) on older generations, we don't really have a way to
ever attempt pageflipping without it showing garbage sometimes. To
expand: pageflipping > composition > garbage on screen. :)
