It probably doesn't help that Wine is (partially intentionally, and partially 
unintentionally) crippled on this platform and most users have to use third 
party tools to use it(which we rightfully don't support). Telling users that 
their platform isn't good enough isn't good marketing either, and I doubt that 
it makes Apple more likely to be cooperative.

I filed a feature request, Bug ID 10490831. The most likely problem is that 
this extension requires OpenGL 3.0 on paper.

Call it hyprocricy from a technical point of view, but I think user numbers 
and market share matter. It certainly does on Linux where we spend quite some 
time debugging and working around troubles various distros cause.

My DirectX9 GPUs can't render to Q8W8V8U8. Blitting from those formats is 
easy, it's not implemented because no app needed it yet. Blitting to those 
formats is harder, but requires render target support. I'm fine with not 
supporting d3d10 features without this specific extension or GL 3.0-level 
driver support. But I think it's a bad idea to disable d3d8 support because a 
driver doesn't support some GL 3.0 extension.
