I strongly vote for not doing this -- Users that did such crazy things can just as easy grab the drivers from the F-8 branch. And if nvidia doesn't fix the drivers until F8 is EOL then a private repo is the way better place for crazy things like this. Having those drivers somewhere in the repo just gives them the impression that it might work -- which it does not.
