Hi, I had this high on my list a couple of years ago, but because of XWayland I didn't feel the urgent need to work on it, so it dropped a bit on my priority list. Thiago did great experimental work in this area, and I should raise Wayland higher on my list again. It's something I would love to spend more time on, it's just that there are often things bumping on the stack that require "urgent" attention.
