Also beware that the DRM backend of Weston will aggressively set the mode before you have any chance to paint user-defined content of your own in a Wayland client program. So there will still be some window of time during which your early splashscreen disappears and no specific application content replaces it.

Funnily enough, I'd say it's aggressively delayed. ;) It makes sure to wait until the shell (usually desktop-shell) signals 'ready'. The 3.0 alpha just released should delay the modeset even further, to avoid a flicker to black.
