The reason why I have previously requested one week of delay was about
some light changes in the common part for the parallele scheme.
That been said, the parallele mode isn't planned to be activated out
of the box right now. so the xorg-x11-drv-nvidia* could be reused
without problem. (And then, the parallele mode will be activated using
a --with serie conditionnal for experimental use).

The only serious problem is see is upgrade path and replacement scheme
(from the kmod side).
The result would mean that we need to update nvidia-kmod to 177
thought the livna/rpmfusion transition for F-8/F-9.


I will answear this mail later...
