Mir is going to ship in 13.10 as a well supported stable display server, and in 14.04 we will have it fully supported for five years. From the perspective of a derivative I think this is an attractive option for this foundational piece of the stack - it means that you folks don't have to worry about it. Canonical has limited engineering resources like any organization, and we don't have the resources to build Mir support for every toolkit out there. We would rather focus our efforts on making Mir rock solid and production ready for 13.10 and then also provide support and guidance for those who do want to build or integrate Mir support for their distro/upstream. This was why I wanted to reach out to the team, to see how we can help.
