The best way to win this "tough battle" is to provide precise
instructions on how to get rid of NVIDIA kernel modules once there're
installed. If you can't dig this I don't believe it's any use
discussing.<br>

Where did I say you should "support nvidia binary blobs"? Is giving
instructions on how to uninstall the module any way to support NVIDIA
drivers?<br>
<br>
In my world, if you explain how to install the NVIDIA driver and get
teh Nouveau driver out of the way -- and RPMFusion does this! -- you
support NVIDIA. If you do the opposite, you support Nouveau.<br>
<br>
If Nouveau developers can't understand this, my take is that, as bad as
NVIDIA support can be, Nouveau's going to be worst. Providing
instructions on how to install a driver seems to me like a bare minimum.<br>

If you want your expensive video card to work then use the Nvidia
drivers...<br>
Simple is it not<br>
