Fedora isn't the distro to use if you have that expectation. There other
distros that would be better if you need to use nVidia's drivers and can't
afford to manage your updates to prevent kernel updates from causing problems.

If you use Fedora the expectations are that you use nouveau, that Fedora
packagers aren't responsible for debugging packages that aren't in our repos,
and that Fedora packagers shouldn't have to slow down development because some
third party is dragging their feet.
