Comment # 5 on bug 96449 from Nicolai Hähnle

Vladimir already told you how to work around this issue.

A long time ago, a decision was made for Mesa not to increase the advertised
compatibility profile version. It is rather unlikely that you would be able to
change people's mind on this - and in any case, this bug report (which is
realyl more of a feature request) is not the correct forum to attempt to do so,
so I'm closing it.
