Those technologies are already implemented in OpenGL and can be used today regardless of IHV.

with or without extensions

are they ever going to make a open gl that is not backwards compatable so it can advance more

Who knows? They planned to do it once and there was a split amongst the members of the ARB.

Anyway, even though may be in need of a rewrite, it still performs better than DirectX.
