I meant more for developers, I've heard from certain people that what we do with regards to nouveau is helpful for development and testing for upstream as it makes it easy to roll git snapshot rpms which upstream can point testers to and thus avoid manual compiling and patching of core components. I'm not at any rate encouraging people to actually rely on either driver but if the impact of being a smooth platform for either team to use is small in terms of effort for us I think we might consider it. Naturally both drivers should come with the "fairly likely to eat babies" warning label like all experimental, opt-in, pre alpha or unsupported piece of code we ship does. - David
