I've been in that box, watching them tie knots on ropes too. But at the end of the day, I only outlaw one driver blob, the nvidia. It locks out the IRQ's for extended periods of time and can, because of that, do serious damage to parts being CNC machined. The nouveau driver doesn't resort to that, and works fine, for what I want to do. So for me, the nvidia driver and its being married to a specific kernel, causes way more problems than it solves.
