I am in favor of (1), since I see the only advantage of (2) being that it will allow a non-opengl rendering path. I think that the best thing for the vast majority of users is to commit to OpenGL and move to it for all functionality. Our testing has shown that OpenGL works or can be made to work well on the vast majority of platforms. OpenGL is a well known library which can provide lots of different functionality. Any other option is likely to support only a subset of what OpenGL can provide to us.
