It looks that I don't fully understand the issue here, I never used 
accumulation buffers and most likely never will but what I wanted to 
understand is that can these configs still be used without accumulation 
buffer being ended up used at all? This is probably what happens as 
without this change everything works just fine, no issues.

If the end effect is that things work same way with or without the patch 
we could consider reverting the change? If not, then I will just state 
to these guys that they will need to live with a patch in their tree.

Thanks;
