Yet this is normally how things work in the Free Software world, especially for 
drivers, one is supposed to track upstream development and keep one's driver 
updated for it as things change, not wait for a release. The fact that NVidia 
can't adapt to this is only their fault, or the fault of the non-Free license 
and the closed development model they have chosen. If their driver was released 
under an acceptable license for the upstream project their driver is for and 
developed in the upstream repository (as drivers are supposed to), we wouldn't 
have this problem.
