[sldev] Status on Snowglobe release plus call to action

I've been using it as a primary client today, and I've seen one crash,
while massively camera flying in a busy sim. Overall, tho, quite
stable. I've even popped in and out of the deferred rending pipeline
successfully. (I will note that the deferred pipeline is *very* slow,
compared to some of the third party versions, or even snow globe a few
weeks back, and still doesn't render in snapshots, but.. that's not
anything that's on the supposed to work list for snowglobe)

My impression is that it loads most scenes faster than the current
1.23.4 client, and it feels more smooth.
