Thanks for the heads up!

Fedora 40 is now shipping Xwayland 24.1 which has EGLStream support
removed, so we already effectively dropped support for EGLStream [1] where
it matters most (not biased, nonono ^_~).

There is, I believe, a fundamental challenge with these libraries, in that
they ship with the NVIDIA driver in binary form and the driver may rely on
specific APIs or fixes implemented in specific versions of those libraries,
so I can see the appeal of dropping the separate packages.

But there is also more flexibility in having those separate from what ships
with the driver, for example, there are currently several issues affecting
egl-wayland 1.1.14 and the latest driver and fixes are being posted to
egl-wayland in github, with even an updated version 1.1.13.1 [2] to avoid
issues with r560 and explicit sync with several Wayland apps apparently
[3], [4], [5], [6]. etc.

Cheers
