I should add that when it comes to improving and extending Mesa, historically Ubuntu/Canonical has made very few upstream contributions to Mesa, the Linux kernel, cairo and other important technical components. They seem to prefer to focus on developing visual and usability components (eg notification bubbles, the Software Centre and the Unity desktop). They have been criticised for this in the past by various people such as Novell's Greg Kroah-Hartman. Basically the criticism boils down to taking without giving back. Whether you agree or not one thing is clear - it is extremely unlikely that they (Ubuntu/Canonical) will even attempt to address this issue.
