Dave.

Dave has a very full plate and it is damn impressive what he is able to consume off it. I certainly don't believe at all that there are lost man-years, that's got to be total nonsense considering how much work airlied put out during the course of his career.

Originally posted by schmidtbag View PostI'm guessing his point is there's no guarantee Dave will keep up with RADV, but, it is AMD's obligation to maintain their drivers. Considering he stopped his mesa work for an effectively redundant driver (as of today anyway), that's a "deficit" to the community.

Originally posted by duby229 View PostIt's not redundant, there is no other open source AMD Vulkan driver. And Because of Dave there now is one. That's definitely not a deficit.
Considering other things that need attention (particularly things Dave used to work on and/or has the skill to work on), I would consider redundancy to any degree a deficit.
