We should consider these 3 packages as candidates for inclusion in the platform, and deal with them as we would other candidates; i.e. subject them to the proposal/review process (which I know is in the process of being specified).
In this case, we are in the slightly unfortunate position that if the packages are not accepted for inclusion, and even in the absence of any decision at all, the platform will be unable to ship the latest version of OpenGL.
I would expect this to become a common occurrence as the platform grows, unless a suitable policy is devised. I think Ganesh's suggestion of making this an explicit requirement of maintainers is a very good idea, and codifying exactly what changes are acceptable for the platform may also be helpful.
