wayland and xscreensaver:
- Sadly very unlikely to easily happen due to human issues
- It's been gross misconceptions on wayland for about 3 years
- If XScreensaver wasn't developed behind closed doors I'm pretty sure it would have been done 8~5 years ago as some embedded devices were shipping with Wayland and without X11
- Last article to me reads like "I obviously haven't done my research nor participated but you should do this, even if your stuff has been getting stable enough to be the default on several distros". This is an awful stance to have, at least it should be close enough to what he wants in most compositors.
- He should be aware of wayland having different implementations and so some of them being better, at least subjectively. Quite like how jwz himself described some X11 implementation differences from the 90's. (While now it's almost just XOrg, to the point where most people heavily conflate the two together)
