Making the support general (instead of just for preprocessor directives) simplified the code greatly. Since I'm responsible for maintaining this code base as my job, that's a strong incentive for me.
I'm sorry if this is a bit blunt, but wow. That's one of the least appealing arguments I've heard in a long time. Not only is someone paying you for your time, you think that's a *justification* for not supporting the standard? That's pretty much the oppositte of how this usually works.
So, as a paying customer of Intel, where would I file a bug-report that Intel will deal with in a responsible way?
What are you talking about? This game works on the i965 driver. I'm sorry that you don't think the maintainability of a multimillion line code base is an appealing argument.
