I did not want to call it a fork since I don't feel that it is.
However, I have now changed the name and announced it as a fork at
Kristian's request.

Yes, there is no reason to fork libwayland. And I don't feel this is a
true fork, just a temporary rename to avoid the confusion it might
otherwise cause, remaining under the 'wayland' name. Wayland has been
in my github repo since I've uploaded it there. The only difference
now is, the name has been changed and an official fork announcement
has been made by request.
