Sounds like the reasonable thing to do in the situation where Xwayland
is still evolving but the other (huge) parts of the codebase are not.
Consuming Xwayland independently seems much better than gathering an
endless list of patches in downstream distro repos.
Exactly.
Do you have any plan how to pick specific commits that are "good"?
We contribute a lot to Xwayland upstream and we have a good knowledge of what is happening upstream, so I reckon we are best placed to decide when the standalone Xwayland package needs updating downstream, in Fedora.
Will those points be somehow coordinated between distros?
No, I have no plan to coordinate that with other distributions, this is only about Fedora packaging.
But once upstream moves toward separate releases for Xwayland eventually, we shall switch to that and most likely other distributions will follow.
Cheers
