Mostly I agree, but it seems like something that should be clarified and
written down somewhere, or else it's going to be rather confusing. Is
there an existing policy on this?

And I could point out that, on my graphics card, neither nv nor nouveau
works at all. So if I don't use nvidia, I can only use vesa, which means
a) no support for my monitor's native resolution and b) terrible
performance.
