Do you mean review D13431? It depends on bug 224202 which you've abandoned.=
 If
there's no plan to land it then the port has no users in the current shape.
External repositories like the one Greg V maintains can revert removal or
update Sway port to a version that depends on wlroots.

Bug 227509 tries to avoid bitrot. Either stuff is maintained or purged from=
 the
tree. Wayland compositors are outside of scope there and may lead to inflow=
 of
Wayland-related bug reports which x11@ cannot handle yet. OTOH, an option
enabled by default can still be disabled by users that care about the numbe=
r of
dependencies.

Why not work in parallel? For one, I want the headache of support of
non-default options gone from my ports.
