How would that benefit the open source DRI project? By steering volunteer resources from working on open source code, to having volunteer resources working on implementing code that makes it even easier for binary only drivers to exist, thus making the DRI project irrelevant? Sorry, but hardware vendors aren't even interested in this so it would be pointless. I highly doubt that any unpaid volunteers are anxious to contribute to making the project irrelevant, and I highly doubt anyone is out there ready to pay to have something like that done either. -- Mike A.
