(4, contd) We need *some way* to give people the freedom to replace the compositor out from under the DE if they need a better feature set, so that extension innovation becomes possible. I may about to be say something incorrect, but I believe the problem here is GNOME. I *think* other DEs/WMs are ultimately based on wlroots, so wlroots-based compositors could be drop in replacements. But GNOME's Mutter is way more specialized. IDK how to work around that. We all switch to Cosmic? :(

@glennseto KWin doesn’t use WLRoots, and I think Cosmic doesn’t either.
