There is still some work left on OpenGL 4.3, but once that is done then OpenGL ES 3.1 will be done too at the same time.
After that OpenGL 4.4 is close to be done too.
OpenGL 4.5 has some work, but is not far away either.
Today or tomorrow GL_ARB_arrays_of_arrays will be pushed.
I think that'll only be the GLES3.1 stuff - I don't think it will enable it for desktop GL which is more complicated - if I've read the mailing list right
Hopefully R600 support will catch up and not become abandoned for OpenGL 4. However, once all the major drivers reach OpenGL 4.2.. it should be easy sailing for basically all Linux games, including the AAA ones because I don't think there are any that require full 4.3 or newer yet, except for maybe a stray extension here or there but even then higher GLs are already partially implemented in Mesa and drivers.
