Is it not the job of those who provide the code to fix it?  I always 
thought that was the case.  The Fedora project folks should not be 
moving things around to satisfy nVidia, AMD or Intel.  The point is that 
nVidia can and does state what kernel version they tested with.  The 
person using those drivers should install the corresponding Fedora 
Kernel.  If it does not work, then it is up to nVidia to fix, not Fedora....

The OpenSource drivers should be doing this already.
