My opinion would be to support that slightly older hardware as well; as
they have stated to intend to do before. The ETA given then was Q3 2010.

Frankly, for slightly older hardware acceleration is necessary to get
high-res video to even play halfway smoothly. The more modern hw can
cope by virtue of being more beefy.

I expect differently for open drivers. Stop deprecating yesterday's
hardware and support it. That’s the reason I went all-Intel with my
laptop.
