I think he is, though he's subscribed to the mesa-dev list anyway (and
he has the "Avoid duplicate copies of messages?" option enabled in his
mesa-dev mailing list membership configuration, so the list drops him

That might provide some incentive for the gnome-shell developers to fix
the issues. :)

If they're still not fixed when we cut the Mesa 17.3 / 18.0 release, we
can consider putting in the workaround then.
