The real question is, is the nvidia blob still necessary?  In F15, the
nouveau driver has 3D acceleration enabled by default.  Performance
might not be all the way to the nvidia drivers, but GNOME Shell runs in
standard mode with the default nouveau driver.  That should at least
tide you over until the nvidia packages catch up.
