Jackson noted, "Following up from the classic swrast OSMesa removal in favor of llvmpipe/softpipe, remove the classic swrast DRI driver. It's unused by any distribution -- debian was the last holdout until this week, which had it enabled instead of softpipe on obscure platforms (non-LLVM and hurd). Now that debian has switched, remove the driver so nobody can accidentally enable it again."
Hmm, so if I understand correctly, if a target doesn't have an LLVM backend at the moment, we can still use softpipe, can't we? I'll need to talk with upstream about that. Adrian
