There is surely also a good biz case for it as well: Less resources.
However, the use input, mouse pointer etc is rarely tested and would
need ones attention for a product. Current code base is more a
POC (proof of concept).

Shameless sadly necessary advertising:

If there are companies out there wanting this use case
or others fully supported, see

Other potential use cases:

Patches are not only generally accepted, but desired.
Go for it - thank you.

See my last posts, where you see what it takes:
- Bugzilla bug report.
  Send me or Julien a private email (see wiki maintainer) to get an account)

- the git stuff
- and so forth + patience

All or most important commits should be referenced via a bug-report,
which then also cross-references the git commits.
