Thank you I was not aware of such. In this case, and if it is not too
contentious (I need not be that person), can we have wayland, x11, and
(by extension of wayland) arcan support by default please?

Besides upstream having it as the default, more packages will depend on
this and going back to enable wayland in the future will be more
laborious as each package is added or transitioned.

Better to do small upkeep by package and manage any deficient support on
case by case basis. Whether that is dropped upstream X support or
bugs/limitations in wayland or associated libinput/libevdev in OpenBSD.

I know out of ports there is at least the emulator pcsx2 and probably a
few more sdl3 based applications. But less than current sdl2 or
sdl1{,-compat} packages. This could also potentially lift sdl2-compat to
bridge sdl2 to sdl3 maintenance and features like some other OS's are
utilizing.

I am not advocating for either camp on this. I want to ensure
portability of ports and all the associated work as much as possible.

Something like this as the Makefile maybe:

Not 100% sure on all depends.

If it is possible without stepping on any toes then please.

In the end, ports and the maintainer decide. Thanks for your time.
