>> OpenGL should be a library.

But it's not. Where is this OpenGL implementation that runs on Vulkan? I would argue that it should come as fully open source from Khronos group since they are the ones providing both standards. It's fine to create a new thing with a long term vision of what a better world looks like. But people won't follow if the pieces they need today are just a wish.

Besides Zink, there is GL ES support on top of Vulkan through GLOVE[1] as well as Google's own ANGLE[2].

Zink is an effort to write an OpenGL layer on top of Vulkan. Previous discussion:
