In the cases where I have wanted to run a kernel that livna did not have an 
rpm for, I just download the srpm and roll my own nvidia kmod rpm for that 
kernel. If you are familiar with the system it takes no longer really than 
running the nvidia installer, plus it means I don't have to abandon the 
benefits of the fedora update system (yum/apt whatever rocks your boot).

This though, is surely a minority case. For most uses that just roll with the 
standard kernels, no one is going to convince me that an rpm based system 
isn't the most convenient... ( Challenge ;) )
