Apparently Nvidia has yet to release F25 drivers for the GEforce 6 series among others. Is this correct?
I'm currently using Nouveau and it's fine so far but I haven't stressed it much and would like to have the option.

I believe you're talking about the 304.xx series drivers and support for Xorg 1.19.
If that is the case, the answer is no. And, I doubt they will considering the age factor.

On checking the Nvidia page I see that the 375.xx series does support the GT630, which is my card. It was released by Nvidia on Nov. 18 according to http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/111596 though RPMfusion doesn't seem to have it yet.

They are there, and have been for the past 2 days. Prior to that, they were in updates-testing of rpmfusion.

Got it, thanks. Turned out that dnf needed refreshing. It was 3 days old (since I updated to F25). I almost never needed to refresh manually on F24 so I don't know if this is a change or a temporary hiccup.

FWIW: I have encountered the same thing. "dnf --refresh update" showed no new updates. After a "dnf clean all", there were 57 packets waiting..

That's not the same thing. I got the update after refreshing. I didn't clean anything.
