Ok, it emits d3d12 calls but it's just like if Zink was named Vulkan....

And here is a prime example of terribly wrong confusing naming. Mesa is already a mess for names but here it’s going too far in the non-sense!
I like naming stuff based on periodic table like Gallium, Zink, soon Copper. Why not Radium for the Radeon Vulkan by example…

Yep, I think that a minimum effort about naming coherence and communication really needs to be done.
After they wonder why FOSS is not attractive to mainstream… well see how Blender does and learn. They communicate, do blog post about future plans and news…
Especially Mesa have big budgets and full time staff on the drivers. They can’t blame budget.
Having a modern and clean website with a modern and up to date doc is the minimum.
