AMD is digging catalysts grave, not their own. Don't forget that AMD has
released specifications of all chips that are no longer supported by
their catalyst. Compare this to nvidia and then look at the development
speed of nouveau compared to xf86-video-ati.
At least we won't have users crying for Catalyst drivers in archlinux
anymore, as it's impossible to get these things working on any modern
linux distribution.
