Everybody wanted this. There was even an attempt at this, called "Long's Peak", that was ultimately voted down by the OpenGL committee after a long development road. Nobody else needed to sabotage OpenGL, Khronos was more than happy to do it themselves.
- david-gpu 4y ago> Khronos was more than happy to do it themselves. I was involved in a few of those committees, and sadly I have to agree. The reason Khronos is often so slow to adopt features is because how hard it is for a group of competitors to agree on something. Everybody has an incentive to make the standard follow their hardware. A notable exception to this was the OpenCL committee, which was effectively strongarmed by Apple. Everybody wanted Apple's business, so nobody offered much resistance to what Apple wanted.
