[Lubuntu-comms] MIR (Ubuntu Display Server) - Should we be worried?

do you really believe all future apps that are on main ubuntu and
ubuntu mobile will work natively without modification on other *ubuntu
version with different desktop running a different display server?

I highly doubt it, if canonical is saying that they need to switch to
mir to provide the kinds of desktop and apps they want for the future
that implies that unity, mobile and mir will play a big part in those
"visionary" apps.

Expecting them to play nicely with different desktop environments &
different display servers is not realistic, especially when considering
canonical own words about "needing mir for future apps"  which is
basically saying, we are going to tie everything possible to mir and
unity/mobile to meet "our vision"

that sounds more realistic, and or business like to me
