I must say, I'm not impressed. Tizen? How many Tizen devices are out there, again? Practically none? Or is it literally none? Chrome OS used Freon, last I heard. If Google went to the trouble to do another display manager, as they did with SurfaceFlinger for Android, they are not about to switch to Wayland, any more than they are likely to switch to it for Android. As long as all this special purpose embedded stuff stays where it belongs, I'm fine with it. I'm quite happy to see developers play around wherever they like. But start talking about replacing our perfectly functional and performant desktops with it... and that's where I start to get "Pulseaudio" angry about needless, years-long setbacks in functionality, performance, and reliability. And face it, outside of desktops, It's really just Android (and *maybe* Chrome OS) that matter for Linux. Do you really think Tizen is going anywhere?
