FSVO "ready". The 2D acceleration is release quality, the Gallium3D
stuff is still tagged "here be dragons, bring your sword and helmet"
by the Nouveau project even if Fedora is packaging them. (Which I
think is because Red Hat pays some Nouveau devs.)

I predict many users will still use an Nvidia binary blob just to get
their stuff working - but there should be enough freedom obsessives to
provide a vast supply of bug reports ;-D
