Yes, we've had this flame war before. Last time, it was said that Nvidia has
no intention of updating their drivers to a new Xorg ABI until a
distribution releases that version in a *stable* release. That means if
every distribution waited around for Nvidia to have their drivers ready
before release, we'd be waiting forever. So go bitch at Nvidia, not us.
Standing around and waiting is not what Fedora is about. We move fast. Don't
like it? Use something else.
