Hi,
I hijacked this comment which Kristian made in the other email thread;
my comments are inline.

So what defines exactly a Wayland implementation which is conformant
with the protocol then?
Let's say I don't care about drm_interface and my implementation works
okay without it. Does my software is called Wayland then? Nevertheless,
in this case, I won't be able to connect the same clients from such
implementation on some other Wayland server that relies on DRM. So if we
target interoperability between clients and server, then I guess we will
want to define hardly a few interfaces.
