Then maybe there should be a blacklist all 3d applications until you 
install 3d.  The Gallium 3d for the Nouveau driver isn't supplied by 
Fedora yet.

You can install 3d applications but they won't run and you get an error 
message.  Been through that route.

FWIW, I do run the Nouveau on a laptop that mainly is for word 
processing.  No 3d required, yet but all other computers use 3d.
