Hello Fedorans. I suppose this changes things, right? But how?

As far as I know this would still not be acceptable in Fedora due to the "No
external kernel modules" rule, right?

Christian Schaller has posted an article on that:

As I understood it, there is still a lot of work to be done for this driver to be usable in generic use cases.

This step is a huge thing for NVIDIA and the industry, but it is just a first step. And it seems that the most immediate impact we will see is the changes and improvements in the noveau driver.
