+Subject: [PATCH] Add configuration option for no input device.
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+As it has been discussed in the past [1], running Weston
+without any input device at launch might be beneficial for
+some use cases.
+
+Certainly, it's best for the vast majority of users (and
+the project) to require an input device to be present, as
+to avoid frustration and hassle, but for those brave souls
+that so prefer, this patch lets them run without any input
+device at all.
+
+This introduces a simple configuration in weston.ini:
+  [core]
+  require-input=true
+
+True is the default, so no behavioral change is introduced.
