The motivation has logic based upon the assumption you describe. However, when observing the wayland traffic, particularly the great work Manuel and Tanibata have been pushing, I came away with a different opinion re upstream acceptance. I confess I could be totally wrong, but would gladly take your input to correct my understanding - the "worse unlikely" is a pretty grave scenario. Can you direct me to where you base your opinion on? Did you mean for a particular version, or in general you are skeptical of upstream acceptance? > > Manuel proposition would enable to expand the compatibility of Genivi > (IVI-shell) to standard application. > The immediate interesting side effect is that tool kit such as Ozone > (crosswalk), efl or qt could work out of the box with their XDG extensions. I was under the impression that Ozone was receiving some ivi shell support - which would be very useful? Am I wrong? https://github.com/01org/ozone-wayland/commit/a034a018b6ec317ec5559dcce6efec916ec40512 > > I personally only see benefit, but a sorer look from a greater community is > valuable as we might have missed some hidden side effect. Janos has followed with a compressive reply after this mail.
