What features did users complain about? May be today it's not relevant anymore. 
And SDL1 eventually should get deprecated
(especially since it won't work with Wayland), so users should eventually stop 
relying on it. I'm not sure it's even supported upstream
today. I'd say now more and more would complain that virgl isn't supported 
because of sticking to SDL1, so you'd need to consider
what's more important.

But if you can figure support for both SDL1 and SDL2 at the same time as a 
runtime choice, that would be of course ideal including legacy  cases.
