I'm slightly regretting opening this can of worms now, but here's my
best attempt at Policy wording.

Hi,
thanks for the effort to get this started. The proposed patch reads very well to me. Since we have at least 7 wayland compositors in the archive now it is IMO high time have wayland-session so users can discover window managers easier. While X will be probably be around for quite some time, it is effectively not getting any development upstream.

I fully support this proposal, are there any strong objections to get this merged ?

best,

werdahias
