I think you are missing the point.  Just because nVidia sucks, it
doesn't mean we have to make Fedora "suck".  This is linux, and it
should be possible to have a system which everyone can enjoy.  With
just a little bit of extra effort, a set of stable xorg rpms could
have been provided in a f9 testing repo for nVidia users to use
temporarily.  We can still make a distro which is friendly to nVidia
users without slowing down progress for everyone else.  I see this
mainly as a user friendliness issue more than an open source vs closed
source issue.  I hope Josh is correct and we will have some nVidia
drivers to test with soon.
