Which would be the ancient backend .. still being maintained, sure.

TBH .. todays machines all sort of offer some sort of GL ES2
and even desktop implementations require it to allow hw accelerated rendering.
IMHO .. it's not even the future, but a technical fact today.

Of course, it's not up to me to discourage maintenance of an OpenGL 1.3
backend - I just wanted to share my opinion of my POV.
