[vtk-developers] Master vs Release v6 maintenance

[Berk Geveci]

I would argue that if you want OpenGL2, you should move to VTK 7. That's
where we will officially release it after all. "Polluting" the 6.x branch
by all the changes needed for the current OpenGL2 would go beyond
maintenance changes and potentially effect stability of it. Not something
we want to do for a long term support branch.
