[blfs-support] xwayland 21.1.0
Hello, a standalone version of Xwayland has been released (https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2021-March/003076.html) should this be installed over the current version provided by xorg-server?

I think that Xwayland provides compatability for running Xorg apps under wayland. I don't think we've got anything in the book, apart from gdm/mutter, which invokes wayland. ĸen -- On average, the Panda feeds for 15 hours a day.

Anyway, "overwriting" a part of a package with another is bad. What will happen if Xorg is reinstalled for some updated dependencies? If there is a good reason to use new Xwayland, we should disable Xwayland in Xorg, and add Xwayland as a new package. > I think that Xwayland provides compatability for running Xorg apps > under wayland.

Anyway I see that xorg-server has an --enable-xwayland option which can be used to avoid conflicts.
