Well, we're only doing actual GL calls on a single thread, it just 
happens that it's not the main thread. If ANGLE supports that then yes, 
we have an ES 2 backend that can be used. If not we'll need to try to 
come up with an alternative solution but to be honest we have enough 
variations dealing with real OpenGL implementations so we shall see how 
much of a time sink it becomes.

Cheers,

Sean
