Now that WebRender has landed and been tested a bit, I'd like to start
a discussion of when to switch to this backend as our default. Are
there issues that people see as blockers to this? If possible, I'd
like to do this sometime in Q2.

I propose the following straw man transition plan:

1. Keep -c, -g, -w command line options as they are, but switch the
default setting to WebRender.
2. Remove -g.
3. Add in an llvmpipe software-only fallback and replace -c with that.

Thoughts?

jack.


So is the idea that people without the ability to use webrender would need to use the -c flag? The linux machine I use for Servo development yields the "GL context creation failed" error, so if there were a way to make this happen transparently that would be pretty great.

Cheers,
Josh
