Are you thinking of anyone in particular? I wasn't aware of anyone who had contributed big chunks to the OGL backend, but if there is we should get in contact, maybe explain things and try and persuade them to keep contributing! > > Throwing out non-OMTC OGL without putting effort into making OMTC > > OGL as functional would be doing just that. > > One reason I would like to turn off MT OpenGL sooner rather than later is to get more motivation around making OMTC OpenGL better - either from volunteers or management. I hope I didn't give the impression that OMTC OpenGL is really bad. On the graphics side (and modulo unknown bugs) it is as good as MT (afterall, we use it on Mac, b2g, and Android, so we should notice bugs). The integration with Linux is not perfect, but it is really not so bad. I left it on for a month by accident and didn't notice, many users are using it already by choice (e.g., KaiRo, above). _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
