Well, yes: the RDB stuff for example does not seem to depend on the
hardware at all, in fact, so it would be better if it were provided by
the real weston, which is more up-to-date with RDP than by the imx fork,
which supports an older version of RDP. And it has caused grief in the
past that when we update weston, it uses newer FreeRDP APIs, or the
other way around, when we update FreeRDP, it no longer exports APIs
needed by older weston.

So, I'd like we find a way for the imxc fork to be consrained to only
the actual imx backend, and keep using the official weston for all the
rest.

Yann E. MORIN.
