Here, you reference the "full" S3TC implementation:

http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/S3TC

All I am asking for is ALSO a reference to the "restricted" S2TC implementation
there.

I'd do it myself, if the page were not "immutable".

I have no contact person to these, thus no influence. I am at the moment preparing
a PKGBUILD for Arch Linux, but that is about all I can do without having contact to
people at the distros who decide such things.
