The intention is to help select which engine to use for copies with interoperating clients - such as a GL client making a request to the X server to perform a SwapBuffers, which may require copying from the active GL back buffer to the X front buffer. We choose to report a mask of the active rings to future proof the interface against any changes which may allow for the object to reside upon multiple rings.
