Yup, in the next big rev of Mesa I plan on cleaning up the namespace,
among other things (see below).  I'm anxious to get 3.1-final released
so
I can start on some serious new development.  Now that this is my
full-time
job I can finally implement things which I never had time for before.

Great!  I'm pretty excited about our upcoming work and I'm having a lot
of fun exploring the mountain bike trails around here.  Now I've just
got to find an apartment (I'm living at the office/house)!

Here's are a few of my major to-do items for Mesa:

-New API dispatch and context management to support simultaneous direct
and
 indirect rendering (with thread-safety).
-Expanded device driver interface to better support graphics hardware.
-Optimized state management/validation to better support hardware.
-Clean-up of namespaces.
-Implement features of the Linux/OpenGL Base
 (see http://reality.sgi.com/opengl/linux/linuxbase.html)

All the while, of course, addressing the needs of the DRI project.
