Wow… great work, development team!
A great report again, detailed and informative. Very nice to see all the stability improvements. And only four blockers for the final release left, at the moment of writing. Thanks to all who contributed to this!
It contains some really nice improvements. A lot of the Mesa work that dos backported was done by Guido GĂĽnther, Christian Gmeiner and especially Lucas Stach. Kudos to all of them (Purism Dev-Team, too)!
I must say, the bar should be a little higher than “the best PureOS release yet” - as true as that may be, there ain’t that many 
I think we can find some better comparison to make.
A minor detail to mention that I didn’t look into but got curious afterwards: is there an “enterprise feature” (or for the family uber-nerd) coming to PureOS Dawn (or is it a phosh thing) that allows for an organization level admin code - or did I misunderstand what I saw in the settings?
I’m so looking forwards a final release and update of all the packages.

But etnaviv is still 22.3.6 instead of the last 24.2.4 so we’re still using a 3 years old etnaviv. In fact my L5 is still jerky although updated
These are backports for a PureOS version we probably do only (hopefully) run for some months. How much more work should dos put into a temporary build? Every backport costs time that pushs Dawn to a later release date. As more modern the version as more troubles to backport the software, because all dependencies still have to work.
I think we should wait with such complains/requests until PureOS Dawn is released. At that point we can request newer features of some packages. But even then it only makes sense if Librem 5 gets important improvements. that will make the overall user experience better. It makes no sense to backport packages if they don’t provide a benefit for average people.
I thought etnaviv (smoothness) were one of the most important for average users 
My apologies 
But not every version brings more important smoothness (and some can even bring new bugs). I would hope to get GLES3 backport on Dawn, once it will be released. But at the end the devs have to make the decision (they also see problems we don’t see).
