Huh? Last F-11 kernel uses mkinitrd, not dracut. Fedora 11 never switched
to dracut as far as I know.

Are you sure it's a good idea? The latest nouveau for F-11 is from May 2009,
which is very old. Why are you changing the fallback for F-11?

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.

Huh? Last F-11 kernel uses mkinitrd, not dracut. Fedora 11 never switched
to dracut as far as I know.
In addition: F-11 will be EOL in less than a week iirc, so is it really
worth to update the driver?

As said in the previous answear, this driver is aimed to stay in
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing and is for dedicated cases only
(such as nVidia CUDA support and etc). Most users wouldn't need to update.
There is also some performances loss with the newer 2.6.32 kernel and
current driver, and the current so it dosn't matter if it was compiled
only with kernel, so it does worth to update for the kernel in F-11's
updates-testing too (kernel-2.6.32.10-44.fc11)
