It's also a forward-looking move, if everything moves to Vulkan than open-source driver efforts can focus on Vulkan instead of trying to do both Vulkan and OpenGL.

Well it doesn't right now, but can in the future because it opens the door to dropping OpenGL entirely.

That's my concern, because it contradicts "We have OpenGL as a fallback, so compatibility can effectively be ignored"

There already exists an opengl-to-vulcan shim driver (zink) that is better than most opengl platform drivers.
