I do want master to get into the state where we can provide API and ABI stability. By adding development code it would become difficult to reach this state.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">What I find most problematic is the requirement of having to use the QPA connection. This means the code is currently unusable as it requires an unreleased Qt component (I don't accept QtWayland dependency neither direct or indirect till it's released and we depend on that Qt version). Also this makes the library difficult to use as some parts can and some parts cannot be used with the ConnectionThread. I would like us to find a solution for this problem before it goes into master branch.</p></pre>

As far as having to use the QPA connection: I don't like it either but you need the native interface to get wl_surface out of a QWindow anyway and using the ConnectionThread connection gives protocol errors as the wl_surface is not recognized.<br style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;" />
In the Qt 5 world I guess that's the way it is supposed to be: QPA exposes the native interface details.</p></pre>

I'm quite sure that there is a solution to the problem. It might require changes in the stack, though. Maybe one needs to get Wayland library sharing between connections or something like that.</p></pre>
