I spent some time reading and investigating on this. Bear with me, I am doing Kodi development in my spare time and may not be up-to-date on all platforms. Seems Wayland is much better suited to serve as reference platform as X11 does. Is that correct? If so I don't request OML_sync_control for EGL. Don't waste resources and let the old crap die.

Badly worded, really.
libGL.so includes the GLX API entrypoints, so your libGL will link to
X11. For that reason - and because there's no need for it to use full
GL - Weston uses GLES2 for its own composition. For clients, if you
don't care about this, then you can use libGL + EGL (this has always
worked), or there's also libglvnd's libOpenGL (this is new). Given
that, it should be reworded.

Daniel
