My take: we talked about that before last SIGGRAPH, when everybody they
would release 3.0 soon. Well, they did, but it wasn't anywhere near what
everybody expected. There are pretty much no new features in what's now
'3.0', especially none of the major changes in the object model and none
of the old cruft has been removed. Therefore IMHO 3.0 hasn't happened yet.
Drivers are a separate issue. Yes, they're not ubiquitous, but I think
that would change quickly if there was a point.

Are you talking about the shader composition or the memory management?
The latter is high up on my list too, so let me know before you start
doing something.
The former is more in your court. Can you give us an update on where
you're at with it? We have some stuff in the works (skinned characters,
seamless-patch terrain) that would benefit from it.
Yours
