Aye, no doubt. Since I was entirely unfamiliar with raspberry, but wanted to use the native backend I went with existing instructions. On the intel systems I've happily used weston-launch, and actually prefer that approach. The RPi instructions explicitly state --disable-weston-launch for weston's configure. Looked at weston-launch.c, changed configure option, made the necessary group edits and it works out of the box.
