I don't think AMD is really interested in devoting a lot of time and resources into OpenGL anymore. I think from their point of view, as long as it is stable and gets passable performance on most applications they will be quite happy with that outcome. They really don't seem to bend over backwards for the API unless there are huge releases like Doom that they have to deal with. It is a shame that their OpenGL performance has always been a little lacklustre, I use Linux on a regular basis and this is the main reason why I always go with Nvidia.
I would imagine that they are going to be putting more of their focus on Vulkan going forward.
Some of you guys saying things like "AMD chose to be shit" need to take a look at AMD's financials. It's not that they are choosing to suck, that's just stupid, they simply don't have the money and are spreading themselves thin in order to try to survive. It sucks, but it's (the current) reality. Not trying to justify their situation, just trying to give some perspective.
