I am not a developer, but I agree to your point of view.

A kernel not supporting NVidia will have no chance on the market to become a 
reasonable kernel on any unixoid system at the end users desktop who want 
to hopp off from windoze to linux.

I am not sure, but I think that SuSE patched their 2.6.x kernel in order to 
support the current NVidia-Driver. Well at least I have not seen any 
statements in the "german" world of SuSE (suse-linux <at> suse.com) so far.
