+## Future Work
+
 We are currently in the process of merging this work into the master
 branch of the upstream Intel driver and plan for it to be part of the
 upcoming Intel driver release scheduled for June 2008.

+Beyond that, we plan to add support for hardware-accelerated
+gradients, trapezoid rasterization, and perhaps polygon
+rasterization. Obviously there's similar EXA acceleration work needed
+for other drivers as well. Please come join us in the fun!
