I'm nervous about GDM on Wayland; Wayland has never worked well on my
systems.  Can you talk about fallback strategies a bit?  Can GDM detect
when Wayland isn't working well enough to be usable, and cleanly fall
back?   That's probably a big ask, though; presumably this can be set one
way or another by the user?
