Am I the only person who had to start over reading this article after realizing that DRM here apparently refers to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Rendering_Manager rather than https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management ?

It will be extra confusing when people implement DRM in the DRM.

We do implement DRM in DRM, there was a nice little panic about that:

And yes DRM-not-being-DRM is endless amounts of fun, especially since it's the GPU subsystem, so not unreasonable to assume.

Endless amounts of fun, as I saw the first DRM (rendering) demo in 1999, before the other DRM (rights) term became common.
