In this specific case, as I understand it, you deliberately want my driver to be less capable for the next release (and you probably already managed to do that for 7.11, though I think 7.10 was okay). What I have so far proposed is: We need to let *some* shaders through whether they will work or not, because the current code is deliberately crippling at least one driver. In order to fix this, some checks should be removed *temporarily* and reestablished when they're more mature, or another workaround should be found before the next release is out. One way or another, no driver should be crippled ever. I know you couldn't care less about anything except your driver, but there are people who care.
