Woohoo! I'm really excited by this. My hope is that with a "stable" release number out there, people will really start evaluating Wayland and Weston for their needs, and hopefully see the same sorts of big power and memory footprint savings I've seen when compared with other solutions. I really hope one of the desktop environments jumps on board now. With a modern toolkit the porting effort shouldn't be huge (mostly in the window management component), and the power savings on a typical laptop have the potential to be huge. Given the existing toolkit support, it's also possible someone could start a simple, new environment with Weston at its core. Anyway, congrats again!
