It shows pretty clearly what these "discussions" did to at least one maintainer of a compositor I've spent thousands of hours in front of. Thanks for burning him, I guess.
When I recount difficulties with any FOSS application, I try to be very humble, always remembering the immeasurable amount of work put in by developers to give me this thing for free. Somehow you don't see a lot of this in these Wayland threads. A commenter waltzes in, leaves a classic screed ("you won't see my business unless this XYZ thing works!"), and marches out. Leaving no word of thanks for work that has already been done, not throwing a couple of bucks for a coffee.
Maybe it's a cultural difference, I don't know. Seems very entitled to me.
