Hi Carlos,
Thanks for your work on this.

Indeed. It may be early in the freeze but it's too much and I'm -1 on
this, let's have it for 3.24.

I want to avoid all risks of regressions in X11 (this means the second
middle ground option). The thing is I don't want to get tablet users
in the impossible position of having to pick between working tablet
support in Wayland and whatever feature or application they were using
on X and that for any reason fails on Wayland.
