I totally agree here.  People need to stop abusing bugzilla as a 
mailing list or wiki substitute.  Bugzilla is for tracking 
defects, not for following the development of a driver or driver 
feature for 12 months through to completion.  The whole concept 
of a "METABUG" whatever that is, is flawed.

Create a mailing list for mach64-dri, or discuss it here please.  
Another similar bug is the Radeon IGP DRI bug report which has 
gone way out of hand IMHO and turned into a huge neverending 
mailing list substitute and/or web based tech support forum.

http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314

That's just rediculous bugzilla abuse.  I'm closing that one out
too, and asking people to continue their endless discussion on
the mailing lists, as it is equally abusive of bugzilla as the 
Mach64 DRI "metabug".

Please use dri-users and/or dri-devel for such discussions, not 
bugzilla.
