ah, Are you suggesting that the NVIDIA 580xx driver should replace the
main driver, meaning that the 590 driver would no longer be in the
upgrade path and updates would go to 580xx instead, on Fedora 43 ?

I don’t see any real advantage in doing that. We can insert the 580xx
driver in the repository and continue updating the main driver as
usual. If a given GPU is no longer supported by the main driver, then
the user will need to switch to 580xx.

I think this is the best and clearest approach, and it also requires
significantly less work.

Optionally, we could improve this by having the script detect
unsupported GPUs and display a big, fat warning to the user.

After thinking about it a bit more, we could also add an
Obsoletes/Provides for the current version to force a switch to 580xx,
if you think that would be beneficial. However, this would only delay
the introduction of 590, since the replacement would only apply while
the main driver is still 580. Once the main driver moves to 590, that
mechanism stops working and may actually introduce even more confusion.
