mesa-git in AUR is built with -D gallium-drivers=...,crocus.
But mesa is not.

The news you linked says `The driver in its current state is considered "pretty fully functional Gallium driver" but for now the default build continues to be the i965 classic driver.`

@Laurent Do we want to be experimental here and enable it?

I second the request.
i965 is still the default, so one would need to set MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=crocus for it to work.
Doesn't seem like it would break anything.

crocus will be part of the next release, as it can be enabled at runtime with MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE, classic driver is still the default one.
