хоть бы потрудились первоисточник открыть лишний раз, прежде чем шарманку заводить:
Here's the plan:
1) 21.1 release happens
2) we remove classic from master
3) 21.1 reaches EOL because of 21.2
4) we fork the 21.1 branch into a "classic-lts"¹ branch
5) we disable all vulkan and gallium drivers in said branch, at least at
the Meson level
6) We change the name and precidence of the glvnd loader file
7) apply any build fixups (turn of intel generators for versions >= 7.5,
for example
8) maintain that branch with build and critical bug fixes only

First, why? Basically, all of the classic drivers are in maintanence
mode (even i965). Second, many of them rely on code that no one works
on, and very few people still understand. There is no CI for most of
them, and the Intel CI is not integrated with gitlab, so it's easy to
unintentionally break them, and this breakage usually isn't noticed
until just before or just after a release. 21.0 was held up (in small
part, also me just getting behind) because of such breakages.
