Hey,

Anthony Liot has been working on a pull request to add proper VAO support
in Emscripten in this pull request:
https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/pull/1817

Before that PR (and before Firefox even supported VAOs), we had an
emulation path implemented, which was not really that great or perfect, but
possibly actually worked in some codebases.

Now when looking at Anthony's pull request and after having a chat with
Alon some time ago, we thought that in case nobody's actually using that
emulation path, we could just merge Anthony's PR in and drop the old VAO
emulation altogether. Then the browsers that have real support for VAOs,
would do so, and those that don't, would not even try to emulate, since the
performance will be suboptimal compared to not using VAOs at all.

If someone is using that VAO emulation and cares about browser environments
which don't have it, please let us know - of course we can preserve it if
someone actually is using it. Otherwise we'll probably drop the VAO
emulation path for good.

Note that this VAO emulation is a different thing than the existing desktop
GL/fixed-pipeline GL emulation, which will not be changed here in any way.

Cheers,
   Jukka
