I was discussing this with Pauli the other day, but I totally dislike this extension. :) I also considered doing the conversion within Mesa, but munging with the texture units among other constraining things behind user's back looks horrible to me. So, accessing to the individual YUV components this way was for me a better and more flexible approach while still keeping things simple from the client application side. See e.g. the Weston bits, it's no more complicated. Anyway, we can still add "native" YUV formats later, this is not an incompatible model. Though, we'd need to extend __DRIimageAttrs in this case to describe the layout of the YUV buffers.
