Several of the comments on that article indicate their Pi's promptly booted to a black screen after the new update.

"As with any software update, we cannot possibly test all possible configurations and applications." ... and we're not telling you how many we did test with.

What is with the "isn't supported by everything" when in fact it isn't supported by any app, being a transparent OS feature?

I guess that's one of those Wayland related features that must be compiled into the app. What used to be a separate window manager process with X11 is now a library inside every app, if I understood correctly. Maybe this keyboard is in there as well. Their labwc compositor (kind of in the role of the old X server) knows about the keyboard but the apps don't know how to draw it because they don't know it. Of course I might be quite wrong about it.

This was a problem even when Windows tried to be touch friendly.

raindrop looks nice, and could fix one of the regressions in wayland if it works on more than one compositor; I suppose I should try that at some point.
