A new dependency also needs to actually solve an actual problem. If we say we should support wl_roots' protocol for wlroots users. Fair enough. There are some parts of Plasma used by 3rd parties. I'd certainly be very happy for us both to switch to a new standard given they're upstreaming some stuff currently. But we then have to answer the technical question of why does that require a library with a different implementation of ConnectionThread/Registry and every client protocol in order to do so? Compared to using one technology throughout.
