If we let the binary-driver providers dictate what open source software can be released and when the terrorists win ;o) More seriously, this is about getting better open source software into the hands of more users. 7.1 includes much better support for some higher end ATI cards for instance. And it's not like it's the end of the world for binary-driver users, they just need to add an exclude into their yum config.
