(I just saw this, so a little late on the reply, but..)

mesa-gl is ABSOLUTELY still being used. It's needed for libmali usage. Not
everyone wants to use lima support for graphics.

It was broken into two separate packages so that is was VERY clear if you were
using mesa for 'everything' (mesa), or mesa JUST for 'gl' (not gles).
