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.
