I think you are overreacting. We don't know if every Nvidia card is
affected. It seems silly to me to prevent users from using nouveau if
it works with their card.

Also the redhat bug report you linked to stated that the kernel on
their livecd (3.1.0-7.fc16) worked. Using a stable kernel seems like a
better idea than using mainline for the stable grimoire.
