I realize I was a little late to the party for the mesa-updates branch (had some ongoing technical issues), so if core-updates is still early enough in the process I think it would be good to push the changes to that branch. The current xwayland is pretty old, and the updated version has quite a few CVEs fixed in comparison (just https://www.phoronix.com/news/X.Org-Halloween-Bugs-2023 and https://www.phoronix.com/news/X.Org-Server-Holiday-2022 list 8 CVEs fixed between xwayland 21.1.3 and 23.2.2).
