Hi Alf,

could you come up with some rationale to put in the commit message on
why this extension is being added?

I can add that while pushing upstream, if there are no other changes
coming.

Reviewed-by: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen at collabora.co.uk>

You have ensured that the C files generated from this revision build
fine in Weston, right?

David, Daniel, since your name is in the maintainers, can I have your
R-b, please?

I aim to land this on Monday, so if anyone has anything to say, try to
be quick. Jonas told me more than a week ago that he is looking to make
a wayland-protocols release soon. If anyone has opinions on whether
this should or should not make that release, let us know.


Thanks,
pq
