Arrogant and wrong. There was no working code in the first place, OpenGL ES is not OpenGL.

I, for one, am very glad with the changes the OpenGL board made. The glBegin/glEnd combo is so inane it should have been removed ages ago. Maintaining all these outdated codepaths carries its cost and clutters up documentation.
