Kind of a random question, but are there potential plans to supporting
running Wayland under Cygwin as an alternative to X11?

I have no idea if it would even be practical/possible to do this, but
just curious.

The standard answer here is: are you interested and offering to do it? SHTDI

I would love to, but sadly I don't have the knowledge of Wayland to
diagnose and fix the probably inevitable slew of incompatibilities, or
the time to do it.

For me personally, X11 works fine, but just wanted to know if anyone
else was thinking about this.
