For ages, kernel devs have been telling users tainted kernels (Such as 
those being tainted by NVidia kernel modules) would be unmaintainable 
and unmanageable due to lack of open sources. Has this situation changed?

Also, users frequently have been told the legal situation of NVidia's 
binary kernel-blobs was at least "unclear", with some saying it was 
illegal. Has this situation changed?
