What is being discussed here is the possibility of using Wayland as the implementation to communicate privately between the preview plugin process and the main process, without a Wayland requirement for the session the processes live in. I'm arguing that as long as the Wayland libraries can be built on the platforms we care about and a suitable way of sharing a buffer exists, even if not extremely optimized, we can possibly get away without the abstraction you're talking about.
