This was already explained to you. The only two acceptible nVidia drivers
for Fedora are nv and Nouveau. Neither currently supports enough 3d features
to work with blender or many other packages. Nouveau is considered better
than nv (it supports kms, gets active development and supports some 3d
features already) so that is what gets used by default. So it is not going
to get black listed in Fedora. If the rpm fusion project wants to make their
package smart enough to deal with that, that is up to them (and that's who
you need to take that request up with).

Or rpmfusion or other linux distro's more friendly to proprietary drivers.
But not stock Fedora.
