Sort of the way quake3 was in 1999. There does exist other hardware where we could have a better 3D story and nobody's put in the legwork yet. Newer VIA kit is probably the most obvious example. If there's interest I can try to put together a list of desiderata for what a driver needs to support to be considered shell-worthy. - ajax
