There's some stuff that I'm not sure of on either the G400 or the RagePRO with
respect to Blender (But then, I can't make heads or tails of the thing- why
can't people come up with simple 3D modelling apps?  Guess I need the manual...
 :-)    What is it not doing right at this point?  :-)

Missing opcodes for the extentions:  What's missing?  (This will teach me to
come in late and not have been paying closer attention to the list...  :-)

Besides the obvious, "it's not going to work in 4.0 right at the moment..."
incompatibility, what else is off so that I can start working on that too... 
;-)

Extremely close to it.  In spite of what you said previously, I do think we're
ready for an official 0.10 build.  I just want to check with as many of the
software vendors and developers as we possibly can to verify correct operation
under most circumstances.  How about this or next Friday as the cut-off point
unless we find some show-stoppers in this last minute testing?
