The organisation of Wayland sounds great, but it is very hard to share optimised code between compositors since key parts that affect performance (in this case latency) are largely developed outside of any shared library code. The "organisation" of Wayland reminds me of the UNIX wars; this is going to get worse before it gets better. SVR4 Wayland anyone? xref the time it has taken the Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils and arguably coreutils is a much easier problem.
