Please go ahead; thanks. As with the other updates which will need to go through NEW, if this one doesn't make it in time for 11.3, are there any other nvidia-* updates that we'll need to hold as well? Should this update wait for the nvidia-*-tesla-470 packages to be available? I realise the drivers are only in Suggests, so I guess it should be fine, but just wanted to confirm. Regards, Adam
