2. how to provide useful debugging info - if the user will not test a non-tainted kernel I see no possible way for an automated system to know where to file the bug
You are assuming that it's practical (or even possible) to run without a tainted kernel. Most people who use kmod-nvidia do so because they need better graphics than they can get from nouveau. Asking them to do without the OEM drivers (which taint the kernel) may make it difficult if not impossible to get their work done, and it's not always easy. And, in the case of my laptop, I don't even know, as yet, why it's tainted because there's no hardware involved that wasn't installed at the factory. Even if I knew what caused the taint, how am I supposed to remove it? Yes, in theory it should be possible on every computer, but I, at least live in reality, not theory.
