Ok, yes, agreed in that sense. However, there was a bit of noise in people expecting "KDE 4.0" to be generally useable, comparable to KDE 3.5 before it, but it wasn't. In many ways, it was very much a work-in- progress release for KDE 4.2. I don't think Allegro 5.0 should be a work-in-progress release for 5.2, but should rather be something that people can use reliably. Of course, there's a difference between developing a desktop window manager and a multi-media library geared to writing computer games.

I just found the thread.  It was your plan ;-) and the plan was to use
TLS to hide multiple mouse support in the common case. I think it's one
of those things we can leave planned but unimplemented.

I know I pushed for it, because there seemed to be some interest in it, and it was one of those things where it would be good to have the internals in a state where it could be added in without having to do a complete overhaul.
Anyway, seems fair to me.
