The directx-headers part of this is easy because it's just a build-dependency of mesa, but mesa itself is a big delta to a library that affects all users of the graphics stack: unlike the kernel, which has both GA and HWE versions where the user can opt out of the rolling kernel updates on the LTS, there is only one mesa package, so the impact of any regressions is higher.

I see that the current bug description is in line with the previous update, LP: #2019212; and of course, with respect to hardware enablement, this is an SRU we're going to want to take; but I think it would be best if there were a more explicit test case than just "Install the new mesa on various hw". Do we expect this new mesa to be tested on all certified hardware before it's released to -updates? Is there a feedback mechanism for us to *know* if Certification finds regressions on some of the certified platforms? Is any effort made to check for regressions on non-certified hardware?
