There is a third option: find a functional, pretty, lightweight wayland shell, and provide that. I think the prime candidate for that at the moment is Maynard, but it has its own issues, mainly that upstream isn't really developing it anymore. Jussi is OOO this week, maybe he can add his 2c a bit later.<br>
