The only problem I see with this is the restricted drivers manager. If indeed the 9631 driver will be included, the manager needs to detect it properly for the correct cards. On the other hand, in the case of say, my laptop with an mx440, the restricted drivers manager will give me an option to install the nvidia driver, which right now would be a false positive since the exclusion of the proper driver, essentially breaking X. If the proper driver is excluded, the restricted drivers manager needs to make the distinction and not provide the option to install the nvidia driver and stick with nv. I think the matter is more or less, how to deal with correct detection and installation than whether or not to include the driver officially.
