nouveau in F-11 isn't much newer than nv
And nouveau was already the default by F-11:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NouveauAsDefault

As F-11 been EOL soon. The purpose of this update is to allow to use
lastest supported  driver for cuda and others toolkits, beyond EOL (a
s. Now at some time, users of this updated driver may want to upgrade
to a newer Fedora, and enventually removes the drivers.
In this case, it doesn't makes sense to revert to nv than to nouveau.

For the record, this update isn't meant to be push in stable but to
stay in updates-testing.
