It does not make any sense to talk about conventions with regard to 
something that intends to replace a proper window manager (X11) while 
not having the concept of a "window". So do not blame the window 
provider here.

The thing to blame is obviously Wayland itself for the great frustration 
it has caused to the users and developers for many years.
