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.
I am not aware of official Mesa documentation which explains when Gallium3D should be used rather than classic. Mostly, such information spreads as word of mouth and sometimes as news articles on websites like phoronix.com.
There will be a default set for new eselect-mesa installations, so if you upgrade to mesa-7.9 today you will get the r300 gallium driver and the r600 classic driver. When we set a new default, then a news item to inform users about the change is certainly a good idea.
