There will not be a *replacement* of OpenGL by Vulkan, however, it
makes perfect sense to *add* an alternative set of APIs for Vulkan.

For those who are interested in this issue, please forward all links and
resources about this to me so I can investigate what's involved.

The platform specifics, moreso that the core vulkan APIs themselves are
of particular interest.  OpenGL platform issues w.r.t. 2D window system 
have
always been huge pain points, particularly on Windows.
