Since Emacs learned wayland last year, it can now become a wayland compositor.
Emacs is already a great window manager. Let us embrace this in the wayland
future, where managers become compositors.

In this short talk I would like to convince you that this is a good idea and get
you exciting about the possibilities. I then outline how to go about
implementing this idea.

Afterwards I would very much like to get a discussion started together.
