Not as fun as I had hoped! It has been a while since the last round, and I
wondered, given an ideal world with infinite developer time and full
documentation, with just an eye on correctness, what current views were on:

* wayland vs X: what would The Right compositor look like?

* What would the notion of a "seat" in a

    https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/multiseat/

  sense look like in NetBSD?

* ioctl vs sysctl:
  GTK4 -> Vulkan(!) -> Mesa 18.1 -> kern/51786 how to pass info to drm
