If support for fglrx is removed, the os is going to lose a large market share. There will be a lot of WIndows users transitioning to Linux because of Steam and we need to find a way to get the fglrx drivers working instead of just blacklisting the drivers.

If I try to install fglrx from the Debian experimental repo or the jockey, it doesn't boot for me. I don't know coding but someone needs to make a wonder patch for gala to fix the issue. The drivers are the only reason why I can't switch completely over to elementary.

I think we need to find a way to fix the problem itself, instead of trying to hide it.
