Although defaulting to wayland-0 seems convenient, it has an undesirable side effect: clients may unintentionally connect to the wrong compositor. Generally, it's safer to fail instead. Here's a real example: In Fedora 22, Gtk+ prefers Wayland over X11, though the default session is still a normal X11 Gnome session. When you launch a Gtk+ app, it will try Wayland, fail, then try X11, and succesfully start up. That works fine. Now suppose you launch Weston while running the Gnome session. Suddenly, all of the Gtk+ apps launched from Gnome will show up inside Weston instead. That's unexpected. There's also no good way to prevent that from happening (other than perhaps setting WAYLAND_DISPLAY to an invalid value when launching an app). Not using wayland-0 as the default will solve that problem: an app launched from the X11 Gnome session will use the X11 backend regardless of whether there's a wayland compositor running at the same time. Everything else should work as before. The compositor already sets the WAYLAND_DISPLAY when starting the session, so the lack of the default value should not make a difference to the user.
