>This is a lot different than say OSS vs ALSA.

ALSA is an absolute nightmare to work with infinitely worse than Wayland. At best 10% of it is ‘documented’ through Doxygen. For the rest the only reference is the source code. This is one reason applications don’t tend to support ALSA anymore.



It's easier to write documentation than to completely rewrite a subsystem.
