Apparently it was widely supported at the time the extension was created, but it looks like now it is no longer available on AMD (according to the OpenGL capabilities database & on my own machine) making it only possible to implement on Qualcomm devices. Since there are other, newer compressed texture formats available on Qualcomm, this extension seems pretty useless.
The AMD_compressed_ATC_texture spec is very old and underspecified. This is creating quite a bit of maintenance work for the conformance tests and browsers - the tests fail currently on Qualcomm (the only platform where they're available), despite Qualcomm seeming to conform to the underspecified spec.
