WHAT!  Your applications would end up running only in software, even
the crappiest 3D card will run ten times faster.

Well, there is now Mesa support for four out of the five remaining 3D
chip
manufacturers - with the fifth coming REAL SOON NOW.

I think you can stop worrying.  OpenGL/Mesa is here to stay.
 
My game was implemented on Voodoo-1 and runs on
Voodoo-2,Rush,Banshee,Voodoo-3,
G200,G400,Permedia-2,TNT,TNT-2,Rage....it doesn't run on Intel 3D chips
- but
they are now out of the business.  That doesn't leave many others
(GLINT).
