Are mid-range SoCs (because that is what it will be) available with OpenGL ES 3.0 support? Quite often those SoCs tend to be previous gen high-ends with some cores and features stripped out.
I do agree however that this would be welcome. It would fit in Jolla's trend of hopping on new tech early on, as seen with Qt5, Wayland. I hope they do the same with bluetooth 4.0 and OpenGL ES 3.0.
Slightly related: do these GPU's also support OpenCL? It could provide the extra umph for certain applications.

"Are you a developer yourself? If yes, you should now already that developing is moving forward not backward. Stuff changes all the time. Also developers inside Jolla knows that."

Sailfish can, I believe, use Android linux drivers from SoC vendors, important, as no-one is going to release a Sailfish specific linux driver for their SoC.
Well, it looks like the revolution has arrived:

Even if Jolla's software stack launches with OpenGL ES 2.0 drivers and function, do not destroy the possibility of moving the WHOLE platform to the newer standard by using sub-standard hardware in the launch devices. Sailfish v1.1 six months down the line can always adopt the newer drivers and function, ensuring that forever afterwards developers can target the new API safe in the knowledge of complete platform support.
Jolla have shown themselves forward thinking by launching Sailfish with Wayland, don't let the side down now!
