I don't think he's complaining so much as genuinely inquisitive. I think he's just asking if it is possible, which it is. GLEW is supported in it's entirety, so if there was something somebody wanted badly enough, they can program using these extensions. Of course most people who want stuff (ie me) are too dumb to work with OpenGL, in which case they play the waiting game. =] OpenGL 1.4 or OpenGL 2.0 is basically exactly the same as OpenGL 1.2, just with more extensions. So using these extensions with the base OpenGL 1.2 we have now, means you are effectively using 1.4 or 2.0 or whatever anyway and you would market your game as such.
If you feel unhappy about marketing your product as DX7, then market it as DX9. It will still work and your users will think you're cooler. Because they're all idiots. =]
