I *believe* that the point being made about DKMS is that you should now be able to install the driver directly from nVidia if you want to use it (and you don't have to wait for the repos to be updated, if they ever are in this case). This was not a good idea in past versions of Ubuntu because any kernel updates would break the self-installed nVidia driver and you'd boot into low-graphics mode. This is frustrating when the kernel gets upgraded every couple of weeks. Since DKMS has been implemented by default in Intrepid, this is no longer a problem. When Ubuntu updates its kernel, it should no longer break you system (it recompiles the custom nVidia kernel modules whenever the kernel gets updated). So you're able to install the new driver directly from nVidia without worrying about future kernel updates breaking your system.
