X.org, distributors, and proprietary modules

I'm a fan of neither Fedora, NVidia, or binary drivers (I'm a
Debian/Ubuntu fan), but I tend to think that this is actually the right
decision for FC5, as long as FC6 is not held back on 7.0 too. It's
important not to break working systems with a "minor" update.
(Though my opinion may be somewhat colored by my recent experiences
trying (and failing) to get a user onto a current distribution despite
her insistence on continuing to use WordPerfect. At least there I know
that as long as I stick with the old distribution WP will still work.)
