> If KWin/Plasma 5 will require KWayland

Things which require KWayland as of today:
* mandatory in kscreenlocker - used for private communication between the
daemon and the greeter
* mandatory in kwin - it's a Wayland compositor after all
* mandatory in powerdevil - needed to turn of screens in a Wayland session
* mandatory in plasma-integration
* optional in KInfocenter
* optional in Breeze
* optional in Oxygen

KWayland is just in the progress of becoming a framework, afterwards you can
expect several frameworks to start using it. Good candidates are plasma,
knotification, etc. In some cases it will be optional due to supporting
non-Linux builds, in some it won't.

Please note that KWayland is a library, it does not mean that you have to run
Wayland. If you want to switch the desktop environment because of the usage of
one library, please do so. I consider that as an irrational reasoning. Please
understand that we won't go extra miles to support such choices.
