Reverting to software rendering (or indirect rendering) is usually a
symptom of something being very very wrong, but right now we do not inform
the users about this clearly enough. So in some cases, what happens is the
reaction like "everything still works, but slower" - which adds some
additional steps to the issue triaging. So I am all for this change.
