Laura Ekstrand is currently working on implementing ARB_direct_state_access. I suspect it'll be part of the 10.5 release. Generally, people didn't seem too interested in supporting the older EXT_direct_state_access extension, claiming it was a bit ill-defined, and were generally unhappy with all the legacy interactions. Everybody's on board for the ARB version, but it looks a fair bit different than the older EXT one that's partially implemented on the "dsa" branch. --Ken
