Mesa developers can add whatever extensions they want. What matters is what becomes popular with open source application developers. Users of Mesa could just decide like like OgreGL more than OpenGL and forget about the standard. Not that they would, but they could. At the end of the day Mesa developers just need to know how to tickle the hardware the right way. Consider the Gallium drivers underlying the OpenCL stuff in Mesa are patterned on Direct3D not OpenGL. So it's not like they are suddenly confused if OpenGL semantics are abused or vague.
