Writing a pedantically-correct FAQ that encourages misunderstandings is a good way to FUD your own project. It should say something like "Remoting is out of scope for the Wayland protocol or Weston compositor, but this will be solved with a proxy that will be bundled with your distro and will Just Work™".

I hate to respond to myself, but I looked at the actual Wayland FAQ and it's not as bad as the quote above implies, but it's still pretty confusing.

FAQ could be more helpful

I agree, although I am biased as I maintain xpra.org, I would have expected the Wayland devs to get in touch with us or at least provide a link for those who do want to keep network transparency. Oh well.
