Replace mutter-wayland with extra/mutter?

Been using archlinux for a couple of months - in pacman -Syu this morning  I got - Replace mutter-wayland with extra/mutter? I normally just go with the updates, but this one lead to an update of 90 packages and made me feel a bit insecure.

I didn't proceed and was wondering what I would be doing with this update?

Any advice appreciated.

Mutter is the window manager for Gnome. Wayland support is now not an extra package anymore but in the mutter package itself. Just allow the replacement

edit: gnome 3.14 was just released, that is probably why you have to update so many packages

I ran the update yesterday and faced the following issues

1) The 'suspend' button which was on top, disappeared
2) Citrix is no longer properly full screen. The top bar is always visible and new scroll bars have appeared inside citrix window

Other than this, I see a slight performance improvement.

I also just ran the update and am experiencing a number of issues. In general, the sizing of all my non-gnome applications is way off. Is there a way to revert back to mutter-wayland and get rid of extra/mutter?
