Hi Jerome,

Yes. Please read he "Re: [Mesa-dev] [PATCH 4/6] gallium: remove PIPE_CAP_GLSL 
and enable GLSL unconditionally" thread and other emails about it today.

The short story is: no one seemed to care about it, it adds unnecessary 
overhead to others when doing interface changes, and it apparently confuses 
users too.

> Maybe some people are interested in it.

Maybe. But interest is not quite enough.  If people willing to develop it ever 
materialize then they can bring the driver to life, by get it working again in 
a branch, and merge back to master, as any other driver.  After all, the driver 
was only deleted from the tip of the master branch. It's not that it was 
deleted from all history...

Master should have stable and/or maintained code.  Everything else should live 
in branches.

Jose
