Yeah, at one point vulkan was called glNext so I guess it isn't that wild. Although I'm surprised they would have started development on a driver before any spec was fully agreed on. Unless they just reworked their mantle driver to become their vulkan driver?
I wouldn't be surprised if something like that was the case. Could have been that the successive work was negotiated with khronos & lunarg before the final name was chosen.
