Indeed, there's no explicit dependency, and the logic works just fine
without this patch. It's just that Steven mentioned in his previous
review that you sometimes have weak (or non-explicit) dependencies. Say
you want to queue draws for frame N and N+1 before you call glFlush()
(is that what happens when we do triple buffering?), sometimes frame N
and N+1 have no inter-dependencies (they access different resources and
frame N+1 doesn't care about the state of frame N). Even if things
would be correct if frame N+1 is rendered before frame N, the user
probably expects the opposite, such that it can output frame N as soon
as possible.

Anyway, I'm fine dropping patch 35 and 36 (see the note in my cover
letter ;-)).
