I know. This is what Ian wrote last time I posted the patch (when it still included GL_EXT_vertex_cull): > My only other comment is that *all* the open-source drivers should > support *all* of these extensions and GL_SGIS_generate_mipmap.

That would only leave GL_NV_vertex_program. Since this only requires OpenGL 1.2.1 it might become a kind of standard for vertex programs on free linux drivers. But apart from that it would need an application that requires it to justify it's addition. Most games probably don't count here since they would require a faster graphics chip to be playable anyway. Celestia might be a candidate for this. It can use GL_NV_vertex_program and there seem to be some people using it on old cards (even mach64).
