Dropping the nvidia-fallback service means that any time the nvidia module has failed to be loaded, including if the nvidia module has failed to build for any reason, the nouveau module will not be loaded in its place. This is a behavior change that potentially affects users other than those with hybrid graphics. Is that a concern? How long has the existing behavior been there, and what are the chances that users may be inadvertently relying on the current fallback behavior without knowing it?
