Apple made a clean cut on legacy providing two OpenGL implementations in their latest OS X upgrade to Lion. One implementation is OpenGL 2.1 for compatibility with legacy software and one is the OpenGL 3.2 core profile. The legacy features are not only removed from the core profile, they are also removed from the set of extensions exposed by the drivers.
