I was just going to ask whether this means there will now be
one binary that supports both and, if not, what this means for
people still forced into X fallback.
I think I've answered this myself - the current firefox-wayland
in F29 is just a script that sets GDK_BACKEND so there is already
only a single binary that does both. The only change is presumably
that it will prefer the wayland backend.
That said my testing of the F29 build had strangely variable
results - on one machine it was largely fine and on another it
was completely non-functional for reasons I haven't quite
managed to figure out yet.
