Umm... given that:
- Gutsy (7.10) multi-core users have a workaround (either proceed with a
"manual" install of 169.09 or run on 1 core)
- Hardy is due for April
- Hardy will be a LTS version
- Hardy's l-r-m package contains the 169.09 nvidia driver

I'd rather have the Ubuntu kernel team / l-r-m maintainers concentrate on
fixing any kernel / l-r-m issues, and do proprietary backports _then_,
rather than backporting 169.09 into Gutsy...

That said, I do hope Hardy will also support the current "legacy" nvidia
driver also. I'm wondering if "nvidia-new" & "nvidia" are appropriate
names...
