[Test Case] * Install both mutter and gnome-shell to their latest version in -proposed * Reboot * Ensure you have an UI in GDM * Log in into your session, check that you have an UI and everything is showing up as expected [Regression Potential] * Impact is a regression in GNOME Shell (showing up your entire UI) and not being able to log in. However, some of us (not impated by the bug) are already running latest version and don't see any issue. I have also asked 3 people being impacted by the bug and fixed by the revert to test upstream commits (prepared a package for them in a PPA), and they are running on it since yesterday, confirming Wayland is available. * The regressions are quite straightfoward to see: either you have an UI in GDM or none.
