At the moment, that’s correct. But a question asked at DevConf reminded me
that with the shift to Wayland, SPICE may have an opportunity to provide
a better Wayland remote desktop experience. Any volunteer for that?

By the way, if that happens, we might want to consider this a fourth possible
location for the spice streaming agent and attached plugins, the first three
being the current “in-guest”, the proposed “in spice server”, and Marc André’s
suggestion to put that in host outside of QEMU process.
