Hi,

A quick question to the legacy-support devs: do you have any interest in whether or not these support functions (plus whatever else is needed and doable) could help building Wayland for Mac?

FWIW, I brought up the idea of running Wayland with Jeremy H. back when he was still maintaining XQuartz, and he was very positive about the idea (including how it could improve X11 support - there's some sort of X11 server "backend" for Wayland).

Proper Wayland support on Mac should also provide a more modern (and better integrated) platform for traditional Unix apps, possibly even for KDE/KF5 as an eco-system without need for patching Qt.

R.
