While some might find your wording a bit strong, I was also surprised by the lack of content in that slide deck.

Vulkan was originally supposed to start shipping in Q4 2015, and there's still not more publicly available than 12 months ago.

The frustration is a bit understandable.

Its a free and open API developed in secret by committee. What could go wrong?

Still, it will be an improvement over openGL.

Seriously Khronos, take a fucking page out of C++. They went two decades with awful broken language syntax until sometime between 2004 and 2008 they got together and decided to fix it.

Today, https://isocpp.org/ is a gold mine of how to do an open standard correctly. Everything is public, future features are discussed with the community, and all the working groups are on github. That is how you take a legacy standardization body and modernize it for the open source world, not make presentations at every event for over a year going "Hey guys its gonna be great! Just wait until you see it! Ooooonnnnnneeeee day! We just know you'll love it!"

The Q&A was probably the most interesting part. Hopefully the session has been recorded (some were having issues with the cameras).
