You should be. What's the point of common API otherwise? This is why I prefer working on DX drivers. Sure, WHCK tests are PITA but for a good reason. In OGL world you cover your ears and shout "LA LA LA LA LA! I can't hear the screams of users complaining about drivers". OGL validation tests are a joke. For something like $15k you get conformance tests that barely scratch the surface. But! You get a one-in-a-lifetime-opportunity to submit your own tests, free of charge! In business world it'd be called Ponzi scheme.This reminds me about the rant of vendor A, B and C OpenGL driver quality: http://richg42.blogspot.fi/2014/05/the-truth-on-opengl-driver-quality.html
OpenGL has never been a truly cross vendor API. You can never be sure that your code runs flawlessly on all the different GPUs.
With OGL next I'd expect extensive, brutal set of conformance tests. But it won't happen, I bet a fine single malt on that.
