Given the amount of cruft OpenGL currently carries, the massive changes (read: rewrite) that will require for it to be a sane modern graphics API and the fact that several Khronos members that would probably not want any significant changes to the API (CAD companies, for example), wouldn't it make sense for the industry to dump OpenGL like yesterday's paper and converge behind a new, modern API? For example, AMD's Mantle.
