    Description

      Xdg-shell has been released as stable.

      We currently maintain support for:

      • ivi-shell
      • wl-shell
      • xdg-shell unstable v5
      • xdg-shell unstable v6
      • xdg-shell stable
      • fullscreen-shell-unstable-v1

      It's a significant maintenance cost to keep all those shells compiling, tested, and fix shell-specific bugs.

      We should start deprecating the old desktop shell integrations (wl-shell, xdg-shell unstable versions) so they can eventually be removed when compositor support for xdg-shell stable is good enough.
