I had been keeping a close eye some weeks ago during the initial batch of patches I pushed and I also think everything looks good. I was just waiting for non-x86 substitute coverage which seems to finally be there as noted above after waiting for other branches and recent Berlin issues. I have been running my system on this branch for a couple weeks as well.

However, the other day on IRC there was a comment about (if I remember) Sway hardware acceleration needing newer libva...? I think it was Josselin (cc'ed); apologies if I misremembered as I was traveling.

Is that a blocker? If so, it would be good to have that update (plus likely yet another mesa version bump) so substitutes can be rebuilt. But I also don't want to hold up any other branches longer than necessary as this has already been waiting for some weeks.
