    Honestly, at this point they should just fork mesa into 2 releases, Legacy and Master and from Master they should remove the whole DRI, XA, mesa IR, drivers, etc etc. and keep the legacy release only for fixes for those with ancient hardware

    Wonder what my 12 year old media server (a Phenom II I think) is using.

    Okay, but since we have DRI3, when can DRI2 be dropped?
    Also is there any plans for any successor to DRI3? Maybe a DRI4?

    I wonder if these kinds of things will become easier if Mesa had LTS releases?

    The fallout should be minimal and hopefully not impact any Phoronix readers, but as Mesa rolls into 2021 it is looking to drop support for loading DRI1 graphics drivers...
