I can give two examples of that, both probably fairly uncommon:

* we (my employer) netboot a variety of hardware from a single squashfs
   image, so nvidia-304 is lowest-common-denominator until we get the
   older hardware phased out.

* I still run nvidia-304 on my laptop because the screen brightness
   can't be adjusted on newer drivers (bug 1241745).

OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 6150SE nForce 430/integrated/SSE2/3DNOW!
