Referring to the 3.0 release discussion, these are the type of comments that I'd expect from people that have grown numb and accepting of non-backwards compatible API releases. They believe that this is the only way to move forward.
Many in the OpenGL ARB were ready to drink this kool-aid too, which is what spurred the announcement at s2007. Fortunately, the ARB had second thoughts and decided to tackle the harder question of how to move forward and deprecate old functionality without screwing existing customers. Other APIs could learn a lot from closely examining OpenGL's deprecation model.
