When you say it requires OpenGL, do you mean OpenGLES is insufficient, or do you mean either one suffices? We do need to support OpenGLES. We'll need to talk about when we can reasonably require GTK+ 3.20. Under the recent proposal to support the latest Ubuntu LTS and Debian stable, it would be a long time before we could do that. I don't care about those distros, because they don't take our security updates, but dropping support for them would end any chance of convincing them to change their policies. Let's wait at least until the Web Engines Hackfest before making such a change. I'm excited at the possibility of code cleanup and I do not want to indefinitely support distros that do not take our updates, but I also feel it's a bit too early to give up on them entirely.
