Devicescape is also by no means 'ready', yet if we want half decent
wireless, it's 'teh future'.  nouveau shouldn't be any worse than the nv
driver we already ship in most cases (My laptop triggers one edge case
where the panel size is misdetected - we patch the nv driver in fedora,
but nouveau lacks the same change [or better change] right now).

Getting this into F7 is something we should definitly attempt IMO.
