> If it were up to me then the rule would be whether OpenGL is supported
in the associated Mesa and kernel drivers

Until recently, QEMU/QXL would have been without display drivers by your
standard, including LTS releases that will be supported for quite some
time still. Given the default targets including new Pis as they come
out, that standard would remove entire targets from Ubuntu's purview
that are works in progress. Given that Vulkan is becoming a common
backend and LLVMPipe exists, how does OpenGL of an unlisted version even
make sense? This standard also has changed since you originally said a
year based range and subsequently modified it when I posted the actual
dates relating to new products and sale ranges.


> xserver-xorg-video-all is a metapackage

Metapackages have both depends and recommends all the time. That is the
norm. Both the Intel and QXL X11 packages are recommends of xserver-
xorg-video-all, not required dependencies. In fact, even xorg has a
recommended package for scalable x fonts.

I am just asking that an old ATI package for a dead company, gets the
same treatment as Intel regarding recommended status even though Intel
is still alive. Intel still gets pulled in by default. Nothing has
changed there. This isn't explicit removal, at all.

Title:
  xserver-xorg-video-all requires xserver-xorg-video-ati

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  ATi sold to AMD in 2006. I can remove wacom from input but not ATi
  from video. Are more people running ATi cards in 2022~ than wacom
  input devices? Why is this still a required dependency?
