I agree that adding a requirement is bad. It is the same reason for my
anti-OpenGL-only.

Maybe it was mentioned in the threat somewhere. But let me ask again:
for what do we want to use it?
 - event handling
 - AI
 - client side tutorials
 - scripting in general (whatever this means)
 - modpacks (whatever this means)

Do we really want to/have to add something?
