Description Moo 2017-03-30 16:06:16 UTC 
With GNOME Wayland it should be possible to run GNOME without any legacy X or xwayland support. It should be an optional dependency, not a hard dependency.

If anything, it should be a gnome-session-wayland dependency, not a gnome-session dependency.

gnome-session doesn't depend on xwayland.  mutter does, but it's nontrivial to fix and I think there's already a bug for it?
