Sergey, I'm pretty sure we're talking about replacing immediate mode with modern OpenGL, not just removing code.
I'm against breaking OS X in the Blender 2.8 branch, at least for me it would make contributing to development in that branch more difficult. Especially without concrete plans for who is going to unbreak it and when. I'd like to understand the status of the immediate mode removal. Mike, is that something you are still working on? Is there something I or other developers can do to help speed up development in that area, or should we wait for a proposal/code from you? There's some other things to be done as well, like replacing the matrix stack. Is that something you're working on or can someone else pick that up?
