Speaking of... it looks like common Wayland compositors [0] still kill clients that can't keep up with "high speed" event generators like 1kHz mice. [1] So, that's nice.

(For people who plan to retort with "just handle events in a timely manner", check out the comment here [2]. OSX, Windows, and X11 all cope just fine with programs that go unresponsive for multiple seconds. If the statements in this bug report (and the reports I've read elsewhere) are accurate, Wayland doesn't... and that is inexcusable.)

[0] ...or whatever the Wayland terminology is for the thing that does the work of the X11 compositor + window manager...
