You mean like when a developer of an opensource project decides he doesn't
want or can't continue to support the project and it closes down for lack of
others picking up the mantle?

Of course nvidia doesn't do what you are suggesting.  They have their legacy
channel as in:

Latest Legacy GPU version (1.0-71xx series): 71.86.01
Latest Legacy GPU version (1.0-96xx series): 96.43.01
