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 number of
dependencies.

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