This is indeed a good place to start that discussion.  Well soon release 
Natty.  By the time your TP1 release is done we'll have started development of 
the next release, Oneiric.  Here is the draft development schedule for that 
cycle:

If we are going to include it, it would need to be mature enough to ship to 
end users by Feature Freeze, scheduled for July 21st, 2011.

Also, be aware that we only us GL on i386, amd64, and powerpc.  On armel we 
ship GLES, so any package that makes direct GL calls isn't usable on that 
architecture.
