No, it's not.  Where's the source code for the entire driver?

That's good to know.  But, you're on your own.  If it never breaks for you. 
Great.  If it breaks, but you can figure out how to fix it, also great.  If 
you can't, tough luck.  The only help you can expect would be from other 
users, making, mostly, random guesses.  No developer will going to help you. 
They will not care, in the least bit, how long you've been using the nvidia 
driver without any problems.
