"We can always create a secondary non free repository"

We already have one, its called Livna[1], they provide packages for both ATI
and Nvidia cards that are packaged for Fedora, which would mean no conflicts
with existing drivers. They are sometimes hours-to-days behind kernel
updates (Specifically security kernel updates) which leaves users with
dependency conflicts (Either update the kernel and lose the drivers, or stay
insecure for some time)
