Perhaps the actual user of these should be mentioned ? xf86-video-rockhip (is there one ?) or any other effort/project that lacks some (all?) of the criticism listed.
(Sort of) the bottom line - either reuse the existing interfaces or provide an approved, full blown userspace (libdrm demos/programs do not count) that uses the new interfaces.
