I'm a nVidia user too, the only problem(s) I experience is the displayed 
area is a few pixels to the right than it should be (I could fix this 
but it'd stuff up dual boot) and it's a bit slower than what I remember 
F8 to be.

I understand all the different viewpoints and reasons, we don't want our 
users left with out of date trash for 5 months until F10 is out, and 
nVidia wanted to make sure that nothing was going to change on them.

*NO ONE* is to blame, just an unfortunate coincidence of release cycles, 
there isn't much point delaying a release till absolutely everything is 
out of beta and also, it provides an excellent method for users to play 
a part in improving Fedora, get them to report their thoughts/problems/bugs!

I think an excellent job has been done and I think credit must be given 
when it's due, and it is.
