There is some discussion in the Nvidia forum at 
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=179489
Quote from #15 "We're working on new ABI support for legacy branches right now; 
we're very sorry for the delays, we've been very busy with other stuff."
So there is still hope that updated drivers will be made available by Nvidia.
 
For the time being, In my opinion it would have been necessary to put a warning 
into the release notes of Ubuntu 12.04.
 
I've got a slow computer and during the upgrade I by chance even saw the text 
"removing nvidia-96" scrolling by, but at that moment it was already far too 
late to think about staying on Oneiric.
