@Aaron: the difference is 470 is a legacy driver and the last to support Kepler.
Transitioning 470 to 535 was illogical.
Transitioning 535 to 580 makes sense, at least on paper, since they support the 
same hardware. I have seen a couple complaints about 580 (hence why I repacked 
last working 535 version). Are the problems widespread enough to revive 535, or 
just corner cases? I don't know. But I really wish that conversation would 
happen in a separate bug, because those are bugs with 580, and not "580 does 
not support those GPU's at all". 
That's a significantly different case, to me.

Also, it's been a difficult time just trying to get 470 restored (and
the 470-server status clarified). The scope of this bug creeping up
doesn't seem like it will help.
