Due to an influx of spam, we have had to impose restrictions on new accounts. Please see this wiki page for instructions on how to get full permissions. Sorry for the inconvenience.
As proposed by @jenatali, we just map BGRA4 to ARGB4 and tweak SRVs component mapping views with this format are created.
That works as long as the resource is only accessed through SRVs, which is why we limit features to the bare minimum.
