To put these docs in context, here's the mail I sent to bf-viewport:

Hi all,
I'm writing a status report for AMD, who (hopefully) will continue
supporting my work. It's not yet finished but I want to share it here
before bed and get feedback while I sleep :)

And here's an earlier draft report from January.

These focus mostly on the parts I directly work on, but I thought they'd be
of interest to other devs here. Especially since we're about to start a big
push toward OpenGL core profile.

Feel free to add comments/suggestions to these docs! I'm aiming to submit
this (April report, first link) on Monday, Tuesday at the latest.
