Jerome 'Korli' Duval has adapted Haiku's MESA-based OpenGL subsystem to an addon format, allowing renderers to be plugged in, with the first one being a MESA software renderer. This system will allow hardware 3D renderering drivers, such as Rudolf's one when adapted, to plug in without requiring specialised libGL.so's for every card. This extends the common BeOS concept of modularity even further, and is somewhat similar to how Be's OpenGL beta worked - each graphics card acquired a third, .3da driver, to add to the kernel and .accelerant drivers.

When Be closed down a few years later I swore I'd never touch a closed OS again. Well, I haven't and I am not going to. Since then I am a happy Debian user :-)
Haiku OS is a nice idea ---
You must have Haiku mixed up with something else - it ISN'T a closed OS, it's MIT licensed.
Unless I'm misunderstanding your point here - maybe you're considering that Haiku IS a future option for you.
