| Part of it is that you either go to extreme lengths (like arcan-wayland) or it embeds itself so deep in the code base that it will be hard to get anywhere. If it doesn't get fixed, well, you don't have to be a reliability expert to be worried about this one: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/-/issues/159 I have probably chased ghosts deep inside GTK from this one alone for multiple full time weeks, to no avail. There will eventually appear a rather harsh teardown post of some of the major mistakes in the implementation (and that alone, no xml business), wayland-server might not improve, but future designers should be able to stumble upon it. I think to get further with the discussion we need a sort of list of what mechanisms we consider mechanisms, and how policies project over them. Not to be disrespectful, but my budget for engagement is thin, pandemics, sorry :-/ The politics stuff - so I have some logs that precedes the formation that are quite incendiary and outright vile, but there is enough shit flinging to suffice to stop at there being good reason why I wouldn't consider getting closer than bayonet range, and why the post was obtuse enough to discourage most #metoo and discard me as an idiot who knows nothing. The tech stuff matters though and that's only what I want to see. A protocol and not marriage as if from 'the war of the roses'(1989). There is a fourth option that might materialise, but that's for then. |
