GUI application to change Wayland compositor

I saw the blog post announcing the xfwl4 Wayland compositor.

The Debian Wiki page for Xfce, suggests the use of labwc as a Wayland compositor, as Wayfire requires additional settings.

Is there going to be a Xfce GUI utility to choose/switch the Wayland compositor, once xfwl4 is available/included in the overall Xfce packages? This assumes a different Wayland compositor is already installed.

Thank you.

Re: GUI application to change Wayland compositor

Once xfwl4 is released there will no longer be a use for Labwc or Wayfire so I imagine it will no longer be pursued. They were more for converting xfce4 and it's tools to be developed to use wayland.
