Yes, I think you're right, and it's time to start looking at it again.
Now Weston is a bit more mature/capable, the desktop environments have
caught up and are at the point where it makes sense for them to look
at it, and we have wayland-protocols rather than the old
weston/protocols/ dumping ground, it's probably the right time.
