Since your email is aimed at wayland-devel, it might be better to point out what part of libweston design does not fit your needs? In my (somewhat limited) experience developers seem quite open about libweston. I cannot see any proposals from you - did I miss them, or you simply felt uncomfortable posting those to the list?
