Yes, we will wait till things are more functional.

Thanks

I wont be packaging it as it's too limited and requires proprietary

Yes, you are right.

We might see a nouveau driver by EL10.

Keep in mind that:

* this is only the kernel module, not the userspace,
* the module is not compatible with the current FOSS userspace drivers (the 
current version of Nouveau),
* the current version is only tested for CUDA computations, not for 
graphics, and
* the kernel module only supports the latest GPU generations and there is no 
plan to support older ones (which will continue to use Nouveau),

so this is a step in the right direction, but pretty useless in the current 
state, the benefits will become visible only in the long term (but 
eventually they will, just not now).
