You can have your pony, I would just like one day to actually be able

Well since you recommend they use binary software, why not just say use
Windows?
I always recommend the *best* software.  In *most* cases this is open
source.  In the case of nVidia 3D drivers, it's closed source.  In a
perfect world everything would be open source, in the real world
everything isn't open source.
In your perfect world, everyone would agree with your approach and this
entire conversation wouldn't happen.

In the real world, you're asking Fedora to do something to enable
binary drivers which goes against it's goals. And then you're whining
about it when we say no.

Oh yea, to have one developer spend one day to provide a compatibility
route for a large number of Fedora users is just *way* too much to
ask...sheesh...

I'm not asking for someone to spend a year full time on this, it would
only take about one day's worth of effort as far as I can see.


I need this too. So get busy and provide this please.  ;-)
