I definitely agree that a database rewrite should be the focus for 3.2. Of
course this means that backwards compatibility to 2.2 would go out the
window. IMO it's time to cut the fat and drop the behind-the-times users.
99.9% of computers for the past 2-3 years have shipped with 3d hardware.
Those that haven't coughemachinescough were sold to impotent twits anyway.
Rewrite the database and add T&L and such to 3.3/4.0. That makes SENSE. The
more window dressing is added, the uglier the ugly things become. Eventually
we'll have every 3d feature supported from old Voodoo cards to the NV20
(nVidia's next generation chipset which I personally prefer calling GeForce
3) but the bugs we bitch about now will be so obvious it hurts to look at.
