There might be some portability issues relying on llvmpipe, but softpipe should run everywhere swrast does, right? Watching the mesa mailing list, it seems like there is a fair amount of really ugly code being maintained for swrast that should just go away.

Intel does not yet have OpenGL 4 hardware, so waiting on OpenGL 4 is senseless. IMHO AMD has to do OpenGL 4 being the only open-source friendly manufacturer having hardware that supports it. I don't expect much OpenGL 4 work in Mesa from the nVidia side.
