I think it is totally ok for a driver in development to not support power management until "it is done".

But it IS very bad idea to ship this not-ready driver to the users for a publisher like Ubuntu that targets a general audience. It just gives a bad user experience to thousands. And Ubuntu is not ashamed of shipping proprietary binary drivers, so for the nVidia drivers this would be very useful to continue shipping the binary driver until Nouveau does power management well.
