+Other distros (eg: fedora) have done the switch long time ago.
+Both projects are more or less dead (which is somewhat expected for projects
+implementing an API dead for a decade)
+
+FC has patches for the examples & for killing warnings though.
+
+We would need to test GLUT a little bit
+
+As for gallium, I'm regularly testing r300 from git but I'ven't tested
+neither r600 nor nouveau (though my experience with nouveau on FC
+is that it regress quite a lot and is heavily dependant on the
+kernel/libdrm/mesa triplet).
+
+r300g is alreay the default in incoming mesa-7.11 (I think
+this was already the case on 7.10).
+r600g will be the default in 7.12
+No bugs are accepted on r300c anymore (don't remember for r600c)
+As for nouveau, well we've no alternatives.
+As for swrast, the LLVM gallium driver is said to be faster but
+I'ven't tested it.

+Indeed
