I don't know how much they exercise all the moving parts, but the tests do exist. As for the demo/examples, I think we have reached the point where we can outsource the eye candy to the Internet and not bother with 'apps'. Specifically, just bundle epiphany/webkit into core-image-weston-demo, and make a nice looking landing page somewhere on yoctoproject.org that links to various HD video sites and WebGL demonstrators. As long as both GL and h.264/whatnot are HW accelerated, this should look and feel fine, even in qemu with virgl and kvm acceleration to a recent x86 CPU family. For what it's worth, with my mbition.io hat on, I do not care in the slightest for X anymore, and wouldn't blink an eye if all of it would disappear from oe-core tomorrow. What I wanted to gauge is whether people still use X for *new* product development, and for what reasons, and how much resistance there is to the idea of switching the default graphical stack in oe-core to weston.
