As pointed by some others already, this is in no way a "downgrade", as no hardware with 3D support lost Warp3D support. R300 just didn't get any. Yet.
This is the first ever version with "any" 3D support on R300. I rather have OpenGL support now, rather than OpenGL and Warp3D support "perhaps later", if anyone bothers writing the latter.
And regarding R300 support, I'd rather have all OpenGL bugs fixed first before anyone bothers with Warp3D

I don't have any experience with it, but I don't think Warp3D is too complex. Of course there's the issue of "having to include all undocumented bugs", to get games that do wrong things work "correctly".
Of course Warp3D is a MUCH bigger issue on AmigaOS4, as their only OpenGL implementation (forgetting any software rendering only MESA compiles) depends on it.
Also, I might be able to do some "generic OpenGL code" for any3rd party library reimplementation.
