And ime, such unused code will also be full of bugs. Discussing issues like this is still good and useful, just to make sure we have a coherent plan for the eventual future, once it happens. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
