I understand the concern — this is an invasive change and caution is
warranted for something that touches such a core part of the graphics
stack.

That said, I think it's worth recognizing that Randolph has been
exceptionally persistent and responsive throughout this process. We're
at v16 now, and every issue that has come up — from cgo
reproducibility to busybox-init support to autobuilder failures — has
been addressed. That level of commitment to getting it right speaks
well for the long-term maintainability of this work.

Regarding the Go dependency: Go support in OE-Core has a long history
at this point and is well-maintained. I don't think introducing it as
a dependency in the graphics stack is as risky as it might seem at
first glance — we're not pulling in something experimental.

The problems this series solves are real. The race conditions with
weston-init and DRM device registration, the scripting sprawl around
xserver-nodm-init — these are pain points that affect downstream
users. emptty offers a clean, unified solution for both X11 and
Wayland sessions.

In my opinion, this patchset should go in.
