We asked ourselves the same question.

It is the best that can be done to fix glx 1.2 for sure. But it will break
glx 1.3, so for example it will break chrome (I have a vested interest here
:).

So what we figured out is, if we have to choose between the old and new
api, why break the newer (and arguably better) one? Instead we should
consider the old one deprecated/legacy and move on.
