but this should not stop you from realeasing xorg-7.1
if someone for (whatever reason) don't wont to use it they should still
wait until updated drivers are available.
but we should atleast inform user that the new X will break their drivers
(fedoranews)
but silently break things _is_ wrong
Should we also put out notices every time a kernel updates breaks non-free
third party kernel modules?
if we know that it will break a module that many users use than why not?
We dont test out proprietary software against any update produced by Fedora.
Why should Xorg or kernel updates be a exception?
We should at least warn people when we know there is going to be a
problem.
No matter what you feel about the nVIDIA proprietary driver, a great
number of people use it. (And some do not have many options. Some things
do not work without it and if you have a laptop, getting something else is
a wee bit expensive.)
