I don't think so, because those options are hidden options, they are
merely here to create a "disconnection" between providers of a feature
(i.e an OpenGL implementation) and consumers of a feature (i.e
applications or libraries using the OpenGL API). So I believe we can
rename them as much as we want.

Of course, all virtual packages would have to be changed.
