On the other hand, if they're in the same package then you can do the
sort of switchover that i810/intel is doing, with cards being
whitelisted over to the new driver.  So I suppose it's completely
situation-dependent.  I don't personally think that nouveau is to the
point where that is a reasonable thing to do now, but judging from the
current rate of progress, it's not out of the question to think that
it will be feasible within F7's lifetime.
