I totally agree, despite being one of the people responsible for its
current horrific state.

OK, I guess it's no longer Wayland/Weston then (in which case the repo &
IRC channel names are pretty misleading - if you don't plan on submitting
anything, it's hard to see how it could be 'next').  Shame, but oh well.
 Next time I get some time to poke at XWayland I'll try to dig through your
fork and try to work out which patches are relevant, and hope I don't miss
any patches.

Best of luck with it.

Cheers,
Daniel
