The code is bad, everybody agrees on that. But we don't agree where to go from here.
Team Kodi decided to delete one random bad windowing system (Wayland), but didn't delete all the others which share the same (bad) design, including Android.
My suggestion was to get Wayland back in, and then refactor all EGL-based windowing systems at the same time (i.e. Wayland, Android and the others). That was not only a suggestion - I volunteered to do it, and I already got it started, but it was rejected. Even though it was just like fritsch suggested in the very same thread, the same fritsch who rejected his own idea in this forum.
Today, a year later, Kodi is still without Wayland support.
