I guess you mean me, so thats not true.
I've never agreed with those "arguments" [offtopic] about enforcing
server side decorations
(in a god-like behaviour) to prevent inconsistency, nor with server
side decorations at all,
and always stated we want CSD:
As Matthias said, KDE nor Gnome shouldnt think they are dictators, nor
behave that way.
Starting a BoF with "Its decided that we do server-side decorations" ridiculous.
[/offtopic]
Also stop implying server-side decorations in general arguments, this
is really not decided.

You're saying cogl/gdk communicatiion relies on libX11 providing state.
We had similar problems in libEGL, wherefore libwayland-egl was born.
Nowadays wayland-egl became pretty small (it had more tasks in the beginning),
and we want to get rid of it by extending EGL to take over the rest.
The main Problem here is that EGL, cogl, gdk are all designed against
existing underlying libs (e.g. x11),
and the wayland way of _not_ caching isnt respected yet.
I dont think wayland has to be fixed to do this, just because older
software did it that way,
but the wayland users need to be adjusted.
To conclude, I see relying on wayland to chache state as broken.
