A more subtle point is that libGL.so includes the GLX symbols, so linking to that library will pull in all the X dependencies. This means that we can't link to full GL without pulling in the client side of X, so we're using GLES2 for now. Longer term, we'll need a way to use full GL under Wayland.
Badly worded, really.
libGL.so includes the GLX API entrypoints, so your libGL will link to X11. For that reason - and because there's no need for it to use full GL - Weston uses GLES2 for its own composition. For clients, if you don't care about this, then you can use libGL + EGL (this has always worked), or there's also libglvnd's libOpenGL (this is new). Given that, it should be reworded.
