I'm not maintaining Weston and neither is anyone else on x11@. I'm not sure it's valuable to package in general but it's definitely not worth shipping old broken versions of.

Oh no you don't. :P I'll take it. Admittedly I don't fire it up that often yet as video acceleration on my ARM board isn't working reliably yet but Weston is what I plan to use eventually as it will primarily be for Kodi. If you ignore the RC releases, we're actually only one release behind and that was from April so it's maybe not as bad as it first appears. I'll undo the mask tomorrow though, about to pass out just now. :|

Please reassign the ~3 bugs away from x11@ as well. (Also, please move it out of dev-libs. I think I had no idea WTF it was when I added it originally... sorry)
It ships libraries to build other wayland WMs on now, doesn't it? Also, we really have no good place for such stuff, as x11-wm isn't really suitable either... I would be bumping Weston as x11@ but not when still catching up with more important gnome@. But then that can just be helping out Chewi in the future (I don't use weston though)

I agree though, I can't think of a better category either.
Please, dont remove. I use it.
James, THANK YOU!!!
