Software provided by upstream does not work on F9 and rawhide
I'm going to import these anyways soon so that users who have downgraded
Xorg can still have access to the drivers.
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.
