Great. Maybe that plan could be delayed until this issue is resolved,
then?

Why?
I don't know. It works with other graphics drivers.
Its not broken with Firefox or LibreOffice ... it can by design not
work
remotely. This issue has been fixed in xserver git by transparently
fallback
to DRI2 in that case ->

OK
Also XWayland only supports DRI3; and DRI3 on X is a requirement for
Vulkan.
OK
It also helps compositors like mutter to avoid tearing and improves
performance.
OK
So if there are issues with WebKit they should be fixed. "It
can't
work lets go back to DRI2" isn't really an option in the long run
It would be great if somebody would fix this. I just want to give a
heads-up that we are not going to delay architectural improvements in
WebKit for just DRI3 plus modesetting driver, and that this is going to
render lots of apps totally unusable (gnome-initial-setup, gnome-
online-accounts, Evolution, etc.) possibly in the F25/F26 timeframe if
this isn't resolved.
