[Bug 346621] Re: Standing FF exception for nouveau-kernel-source, xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

[Bryce Harrington]

I'd give my +1 to this, for all the reasons given in the description.
This is still considered an experimental driver, and not one we yet
recommend for users to use, however it likewise is an extremely
important driver in the mid/long term, since it's the only true FOSS
driver we have for this hardware (-nv, our current default, is an
obfuscated driver maintained mainly only by nVidia with limited
contributions from community members).

One thing I'd add though, is that care needs to be taken to ensure all
the bits (kernel, libdrm, driver) are updated in sync so they continue
to work together.  For ordinary bug fixes this shouldn't be an issue,
but if we rev versions we need to be certain that the API stays sane.
>From what I've observed to date with -nouveau, Chris Halse Rogers seems
well on top of this issue and I would entrust him to make correct
decisions here (more than I'd trust myself anyway.)

Thus, I agree to this feature freeze exception as long as updates are
reviewed/approved by Chris first.
