Depends on how you value Wayland support.

That said, if I were Nvidia, and the post was an example of "cooperating" and "working" with the Wayland developers, I don't think I'd go out of my way to cooperate.

You can swap "Nvidia" and "Wayland developers" and still end up with an equally valid argument.

How so? The Wayland developers are pushing for open, unified standards that work across all chipsets. Nvidia is pushing for their own special snowflake implementation/interface, that no one else would or could use.

You can certainly make the swap and the sentence still makes sense and is factually correct, but the context matters.

I think he means that

>That said, if I were (the Wayland developers), and (witnessed how Nvidia is) "cooperating" and "working" with (us), I don't think I'd go out of my way to cooperate.

Is also a valid point.

Gah, I read it as the opposite, even though that was what the grandparent had already stated.
