"A Wayland “output” is the resource that represents a display device. Commonly this means it handles a computer monitor. This resource could disappear at any time in the life cycle of the application. This is easy enough to imagine: all it takes is a yank of the display’s power cord and the monitor goes away. [Except it can't; it can only disappear between callbacks?] This is basically the exact opposite of the Rust memory model. Rust likes to own things and give compile-time defined borrows of that memory. This is runtime lifetime management that must be managed in some way."

Something leads me to believe that there is something very wrong with the architecture of wlroots-rs. The output should be attached to a callback parameter or something, maybe? I don't know enough about Wayland to say, but something ain't right.
