Thanks. I read
https://mir-server.io/docs/window-positions-under-wayland, Is your
standpoint by adding more shell protocols to support windows that
behave differently rather than allowing the client to take full
control window position to implement some special behavior? Agree,
wayland should maintain its current design goals.

Note that I don't speak for the whole Wayland community, just as an
implementer of one of many Wayland compositors. But yes, that's what has
happened with moving from wl-shell to xdg-shell and with more
specialised extensions such as xdg-foreign and wlr-layer-shell. I
anticipate that where there is sufficient justification additional
features will be added either by updating existing extensions or by
adding new ones.
