Hello, 
I also want to elaborate a bit on the wpebackend-rdk story. I also don't know what the future will be or what the intentions here are. 
A few weeks ago, I already made a pull request to adapt wpebackend-rdk to the new libwpe. It is able to run fine together, but it seemed nobody replied to my pull-request, and also it was not very clear what to use now, so I closed it again... https://github.com/WebPlatformForEmbedded/WPEBackend-rdk/pull/26 
I also don't use wayland, but using the egl vivante-backend (imx6) directly (just as bcm/rpi). It looks like all efforts go to wpebackend-fdo now?
