Precisely.  Do what works for you.

In the meantime, fedora and it's developers have to do what works for them.

The pain is when these 2 clash.  nvidia's drivers may give you (some of) 
what you want, but it causes is the source of pain/frustration (esp to 
fedora developers), due mostly to false bugs and support requests that most 
often have nothing to do with fedora and everything to do with nvidia's 
driver.

That's why most of the time when problems are reported, we ask that it be 
reproducible on stock fedora (nouveau)

I wish there were something to do that could make things better somehow, but 
that's life I guess.
