I think it's reasonable to assume if an entity had fucked up once, they are at least capable of doing so again.

Even if they don't fuck it up, the half-assed implementations of it will.

2 years? in two years time nvidia will have their next line of GPUs out (pascal), intel will have launched knights landing (the many core xeon), and the next version of OS X will be released. 2 years is a long time, and it will already be behind the curve from it's announcement. khronos have a history of stagnation and disappointment.

> I can't see Khronos making the same fuck up twice, as they did with Longs Peak.

i think you may be mis-under-estimating khronos..

I'm all for deprecating old OpenGL features. Old apps won't fail to run for a while yet. When they do, the community will no doubt create a compatibility layer like they did with DosBox.
