That said, Nvidia and ATI both release new versions quite regularly.
Amongst the gamer market these are very popular. I would like us to
publish this in -proposed-updates as soon as they are available, and if
we get no bad reports after a month or so, move them to -updates. This
way the gamers can get them immediately by enabling -proposed-updates,
and everyone else gets them once we are sure they are safe. How does
that sound?
