AFAICT, the spec is not clear to whether max uniforms applies to active
uniforms, or declared uniforms.
Indeed for the example you give it is unrealistic for the app to expect this to
be supported with a limited number of max uniforms. But the examples that
Marek pasted, it is not clear cut if this is an app bug, or a compiler
limitation.

This will drive testers affected by this issue away from testing master. I
thought that we all agreed that master should remain relatively stable all the
time. No good comes from leaving things broken for our users like this for so
long.
I also think that something needs to be done to keep old behavior until GLSL
compiler handles optimizes this particular case. If not within GLSL itself,
then in the components around it.
