… today.  What's going to happen tomorrow, is anyone's guess.  In case 
you're not aware of it, Nvidia's current binary blob does not support some 
of their older hardware.  Whenever Nvidia decides that you should buy their 
new hardware, they'll just stop supporting your model.  They have done it 
before, they'll do it again.  Then, the next time there is a 
significantly-enough kernel ABI chance that their shim stub can't deal with, 
you're boned.

When that happens, and you (not you specifically, just saying this in 
general) come shedding tears, it won't be easy for me to feel any sympathy 
for you.
