Fine for me: I'm on Radeon HW...
But see comment #3: in the case you suggested there is not feature parity for
nouveau (vieux, gallium or whatever).

And, for the sake of arguing, I would like to ask what is the point of a
*stable* mesa release going to be broken in one of their drivers by an
otherwise apparently "innocent" libdrm *stable* upgrade (which in the release
announce nobody warned against); moreover, a brokenness that will remain until
the release of Mesa 8.1 (about 3 months in the future)...
Not all the users are willing to live at the bleeding edge of the git master,
while still willing to have a graphic stack updated to the stable level.
