Wayland needs a secure and backward compatible (which, unfortunately, rules out secure) way to manage global shortcuts and keypresses and viewport/video memory sharing.

These are two sore points of still incomplete feature parity with X11.

Yes, there are workarounds. Yes, the old ways were insecure by design. Yes, it's damn hard to provide these features to unmaintained software that expects stuff to work in a certain way.

But removing used/useful features is not exactly progress, no matter in name of what is being done.

Thank you for helping to keep GamingOnLinux civil and safe!
