But why?
Apps might prefer to have no mipmaps than have them generated by (slow)
software. In this case, advertising the string is misleading.
Apps which want mipmaps regardless will *have* to have a fallback path
themselves, so apps that care will already know how to do this when the
extension isn't advertized.
Overall, this 'false advertising' doesn't aid one class of apps, and confuses
another...
