Protocol symbols clash with wlroots symbols

Let's say we have a stable layer shell protocol. wayland-scanner would export symbols like wlr_layer_shell. However we'd like to use this name for the wlroots implementation too.

Wayland uses a different prefix to address this issue: wp_ (instead of wl_). Maybe we should consider switching to something like wlrp_.

No rush though, we're nowhere near standardizing stable protocols and wayland-protocols is changing.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
