Roland found out how to do bigger aliased points on r200 hardware a long time ago. AFAIK the patch was never applied since people failed to see it's importance.
3D modellers use points to mark the currently selected vertices. A maximum point size of 1 means they are invisible with today's screen resolutions. This makes the r200 DRI driver useless for 3D modelling with those applications. Bigger point sizes are really necessary! Roland's patch supported only aliased points, but since the maximum point sizes for aliased and antialised points can be different that would never cause a software fallback. I know that the popular free wings3d modeller uses only aliased points and think that it's the same with other 3d modellers.
