The problem with that is that the grumpy editor needs the video cards to 
do the testing. Unlike open source, they are not free...

Yeah, though grumpy editor has Ways of Making People Talk, which hopefully he could use to
drastically narrow down the scope of cards he's looking at before buying, especially if he
limits it to free drivers, and cards available as standalone cards (which knocks out all the
intels, for example, AFAIK.)
