This statement conveys that you have little to no experience writing, testing, or supporting software, yet you presume to tell others how it should or shouldn't be done.

Which, incidentally, sums up your attitude in this thread. What I find sad is that in doing so, you are engaging in the very behavior that you are ascribing to others. (This is a phenomenon known as "projection", BTW)

So what kind of experience do you have? Never able to get software working using multiple backends?

I'm never say that Intel must accept XMir patch in the first place. The problem is that it is reverted by "the management", not by the driver developer. Then you try to reconstruct a technical reason for that. It is history revisionism at best.

I have fourteen years worth of cross-platform software development experience. And yes, "cross-platform" includes, but is not limited to, "multiple backends".
