It might not be obvious but doing so is very counter productive even for
those users wanting to use proprietary drivers.  Nvidia doesn't update
their driver everytime there is a new Xorg release.  They wait for a
major distribution to include it first.  If Fedora waits for Nvidia, we
will have a chicken and egg situation.   Among distribution vendors, Red
Hat is by far the leading contributor to Xorg and Fedora benefits very
much from the expertise by getting many new features first.  It would be
silly to throw away that benefit in favour of proprietary driver support.
