[vtk-developers] OpenGL backend - 1.1 vs 2.0

The plan that was floated so far is to drop OpenGL 1 support by the end of
2017. Even this drags a bit longer, it will not be supported for very long.
We encourage everyone who are running on drivers that do not support OpenGL
3.2 to start looking into Mesa with OpenSWR.
