  * structs and the loader can use the extensions it knows about by
  * casting it to a more specific extension and optionally advertising
  * the GLX extension.  See below for examples.
+ *
+ * We never break API in for a DRI extension.  If we need to change
+ * the way things work in a non-backwards compatible manner, we
+ * introduce a new extension.  During a transition period, we can
+ * leave both the old and the new extension in the driver, which
+ * allows us to move to the new interface without having to update the
+ * loader(s) in lock step.
+ *
+ * However, we can add entry points to an extension over time as long
+ * as we don't break the old ones.  As we add entry points to an
+ * extension, we increase the version number.  The corresponding
+ * #define can be used to guard code that accesses the new entry
+ * points at compile time and the version field in the extension
+ * struct can be used at run-time to determine how to use the
+ * extension.
