As I mentioned, I'm relying on what upstream kwin has said.  I know there have 
been times (quantal) when Ubuntu moving to a new mesa version in a manner 
that, from the perspective of our upstream, was overly aggressive caused 
problems.  I would assume that was done because the features were wanted for 
Ubuntu specific reasons and not just version chasing.  It may be no more than 
that.
