Note that this blog post is about so-called "logical" seats! This is where multiple people are in front of one computer, and each have their own mouse/keyboard, but they control the same desktop environment.
This is in contrast to "physical" seats, where every "seat" has their own independent setup (including their own screen and desktop environment).

This was the first time I looked deeper into Wayland actually *is*! At its heart, it’s a collection of protocols. I was really happy to find that the core "wayland" protocol (that graphical programs and the Wayland compositor use to talk to each other) has deeply integrated multi-seat support! Which is an awesome basis! 5/5 stars! :D ★★★★★ But for multi-seat to work, it has to be supported throughout the stack. So how well do Wayland compositors actually use these concepts?
