Description Jacob Floyd 2016-06-08 16:34:33 UTC 
kde-plasma/plasma-meta unconditionally installs kde-plasma/kwayland-integration which pulls in wayland. Please put that behind the wayland useflag to make it optional. I'm not ready to play with wayland yet, so I don't see a reason to have it on my box.

I could install everything plasma-meta installs except for wayland, but I'd rather use the meta package to keep my @world set cleaner.

Various other Plasma 5 packages use libwayland unconditionally, even on X.

$ equery d kwayland

Comment 3 Jacob Floyd 2016-06-08 20:22:26 UTC 
This thread is relevant and indicates that KDE unconditionally requires wayland:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1045534.html

If KDE really can't be separated from wayland, then could a note of some kind be added to the wiki explaining why?

Thanks!

We can't fix this as this is an upstream decision.
