They really could not think of another acronym for it than "GPL"?

Graphics Pipeline Library (GPL) is too long to write every time so it does makes sense.

Do you prefer a longer name, such as the Library for Graphics Bespoken Timely Pipelines?

The AMD RADV LGBT Project.

(This post is tongue-in-cheek in agreement with you. GPT is an already-used acronym and something else would be nice unless it’s tying itself to that project.

Anyone can use any acronym for their project, just like LGBT or GPT. But don’t be surprised if people think the project is tied to the more well-known cause associated with the acronym.)

PNGPL (PNGPL is Not a Graphics Pipeline Library)

I'd vote for GraPiLib or grapi

Can't wait for 23.1 branchpoint.

What this is supposed to improve? Shader cache with GPL seems to be still not working with dxvk 2.1 and mesa git.

Edit: I see it is just dxvk state cache thats not working.
