Is there any kind of information (doc page, news item...) planned for explaining when it's better to switch to gallium3d and when not? For example, one of the systems I administrate has a r300 device, but I haven't followed at all gallium progress and, I guess, you cannot asume most of the people know about all this. Then, I think that, for example, a news item would be useful to know what drivers should we use. Thanks a lot
