It's in active API review, and we're still tearing down some of the classes. 
Right now, we are removing absolute positions from the API, since that concept 
does not really exist in Wayland. We also know that we have to change the 
input classes.

In 2-3 weeks, the API should be a lot more stable. That would be the ideal 
time to give feedback.

We will have a tech preview in the 5.6 timeframe, but we will integrate the 
changes to the dev branch, and not to the 5.6 branch.
