Yeah, the full switch to ACO is not yet there for radeonsi. And, given corporate constraints, might never really happen.

llvmpipe I do not mind. That is a very distinct driver and allows testing for extensions. That would be easy not to build in a production environment with hardware acceleration around. llvmpipe was also very important for virtual machines (these days less). But the core Khronos and/or hardware driver stuff with LLVM dependencies I really wish I could avoid.
