My plan was roughly in line with what we are discussing, reviewing the patches, pushing to a new "mesa-updates" branch, and then asking for someone to start a build job. We could then have people more easily test or just to check build for build failures and ensure good substitute coverage upon merging. Anyway, I appreciate this coming up for discussion here, so thanks Christopher. And thanks Maxim for pushing through these changes anyway, as there were some important fixes for people (some couldn't use wayland I think due to missing Mesa drivers, video decoding acceleration didn't work, etc.) and selfishly I'm happy to have the latest Mesa sooner. My apologies for not helping lead more on this front after my public volunteering to do so! John
