Not sure to understand what you say here. Do you say: "This option
already exists in the current version of GStreamer packaged by
Buildroot, and continues to exist in 1.14.0 and therefore should be
kept in Buildroot, i.e BR2_PACKAGE_GST1_PLUGINS_BAD_LIB_OPENGL_WAYLAND
should stay.

Is that what you meant ?

For this one, do you think we need an explicit
BR2_PACKAGE_GST1_PLUGINS_BASE_WAYLAND option, or should we just pass
--enable-wayland as soon as Wayland+EGL are available, in
gst1-plugins-base.mk ?

You *can* add more details, or you *can't* ? :-)
