What I would want to know and get from vendors part I: AMD

Lot of questions for sure.. but more near term practical questions are:

1.Access to the Catalyst BETA program.. I tried to get info about that and I'm sure it exists but I can't get access to..
this would provide at least 1-2 months advantage vs regular Catalyst WHQL drivers having features early so I would get latest CAL compiler improvements (perf improvements, fixes, new features..) which in turn should benefit also OpenCL GPU backend and DirectCompute stuff.. Also new OpenGL stuff..
I think by Catalyst 10.1 is circulating to some privileged 5670 testers (GPU-z leaks last week) and that supports OpenGL 3.2 for the first time I think..

2.Acess to Catalyst Linux beta program.. for the same reason as Catalyst Windows..

3. AMD Shader Kernel Analizer with OpenCL and or DirectCompute support..:
This would allow getting me low level info of kernel issues on ATI cards..


4.Roadmap of OpenGL and OpenCL and state of OpenCL of AMD cards (expected?,when?):
all these are lacking vs Nvidia, when they will get done? (at least for 5xxx cards):
*Opencl shipping in drivers
*OpenCL with Khronos ICD model..
*opencl:image support, double precision,atomics,local atomics, byte addresable store,etc..
* OpenCL kernels built to/from AMD IL ..
* R8xx ISA and AMD IL updated documentation
*48xx cards image support and doubles (AMD,Apple)
*5xxx cards (ogl interop, doubles, byte addressing, local and global atomics, 3d_image_write when?)
State of AMD exts (global sync, wave sync,GDS) coming soon said at «Fermi» attack PowerPoint and also
*Concurrent kernel execution in 5xxx hard exposed via OpenCL command queues?

5.OpenGL stuff:
*opengl 3.2 plus 10.1 arb ext
*opengl 5xxx extensions: tesellator, random access pixel shader,etc..

6.What about DirectCompute 4.0 support for 4xxx cards?

7.Early access to OpenCL builds?: it's possible to get this?..
