I know I've been guilty of it at times but you have to be careful drawing those types of conclusions from one experience. I've used the akmod-nvidia package for some time without issue and since this is the first posting I've read where someone did have an issue it doesn't look to be that common. First I have to ask, did you install kernel-headers & kernel-devel for the kernel you're booting? I can't remember off hand but at least one if not both of those packages are needed. Second, I would suggest subscribing to the rpmfusion users list since akmod-nvidia is not a fedora provided package.
