If it breaks the Negativo repo, then yes it is. The Nvidia driver from 
that repo is supported and it needs to not break. We've been super 
super lenient with allowing kernel updates in the Workstation product, 
since it seems to be working well for everyone involved, but that would 
need to be reconsidered if a kernel update intentionally breaks an 
important subset of our users. (Note: we only support Nvidia if 
installed from the Negativo repo, not from anywhere else.)

It sounds like patches are already available, so it shouldn't be a huge 
problem to get the Nvidia package updated.
