I also wish it to be committed.

Because "disable-shared-glapi" forbids OpenGL ES 2.

In detail: If we disable “shared-glapi”, DRI2 backend failed to be
loaded, then MESA uses GLX backend to provide render surfaces. But GLX
backend do not support EGL_OPENGL_ES2_BIT. Then user cannot use OpenGL
ES 2.

The patch is a good solution. I vote for it.
