I wouldn't have assumed that. But from a technical perspective, I'm trying to understand why kwin couldn't be integrated with Mir. Judging from the recent development with respect to a Wayland backend in KWin, I got the impression that kwin's overall architecture is meant to be pluggable to different windowing systems/compositors. I would be happy to start looking into this if someone from the KDE/kwin team could work together with me and guide me through the code.
