I'm still unconvinced personally, but I'll defer to Mark.

On the basis that apps would not need to be recompiled if this needs to 
be changed later, I still support enabling the functionality.

Mesa floting point patent enquiry - continued

2012-01-24 Thread Christopher James Halse Rogers
Hello again!

Sorry for not following up on this sooner.  I'd like to resolve this now
that Mesa 8.0 is close to landing in Precise.  The last status is
ambiguous to me: Colin Watson's response[1] suggests against enabling
the extensions, while Mark Shuttleworth's response[2] is for enabling
them, and there doesn't appear to be a resolution of the two.

There's no rush; this can easily be enabled any time before feature
freeze.
