Yeah... Though I thought it was better to first reach the maintainers
with the proposal before spending a long time testing stuff to see if
this option would break something.

And also weston has built-in tests which should help to convince them.

I'm all in on this, I think it's going to make a more compeling case for
the release team (although I only did CVE fixes to stable, not patch
releases). It's very few commits, so I think it shouldn't be
problematic.

Sure, just let me know if you need help with anything and/or when the
packaging is ready for testing.
