Because, more-or-less, my GUI gets broken everytime the kernel
gets updated anyway.  I think if you have one monitor and an older
nVidia card, you may be okay with that nouveau horse dung.
Otherwise, you've got nothing but problems.  Frankly, it is easier
to go through a longer sequence of well-trodden paths than it is
to diagnose the situation when nouveau decides to give you
reduced resolution on only one monitor.  That's why.
