Mesa 11.0 Has Been Branched, The Release March Begins

"Mesa" may "support" 4.2 in an abstract sense, but since there aren't any actual drivers that support 4.2, that doesn't really mean anything.

Sure it does. It means that Mesa is now 4 years behind schedule, as opposed to 5 years with 4.1. (It was 3 years behind schedule at the time of 10.0 release.)

Which means nothing to the 11.0 branch.

Did I say it did? It concerns the 12.0 branch instead, which probably will come soon. If that happens in less than a year, Mesa won't fall further behind schedule, but might actually catch up a bit.

If you mean r600, then say so. radeon is a kernel driver, and it's been the one used by both r600 and radeonsi (for the longest time).

No need for this. Captain Obvious told you

Intel actually supports everything in 4.2, but not in 4.0 or 4.1.

Sort of. You can't support 4.2 without supporting 4.1 and 4.0. Intel has all the required extensions that were added in that release done, yes, but doesn't really support "everything" in 4.2.
