Hi,

@Daniel - this makes all the sense. Please remember that the delivery is
not only the kernel driver itself, but also a whole set of userspace
libraries. This is a closed source component. 470 was abandoned a year
ago and no one is monitoring it for CVE issues. There won't be a single
fix for it ever again. We can not leave such an attack vector in the
archives for the next 4 years (until 24.04 EOL). I know that there is a
group of people still using these GPUs, but if NVVIDIA does not want to
support it, then we can not either. Also, 390 was only patched for 6
months after EOL, not two years, and only for one release.

Regardless, I've patched 490 to work with 6.14. The driver is here: 
https://launchpad.net/~kuba-t-pawlak/+archive/ubuntu/470-test
The drivers in the archives will be transitioned to 535. This means that my 
patched 470 will be the only installable 470 and the only working instance for 
6.14 kernels. As it is a private PPA version, it's going to be unsupported.
I will also try to get it into this group's PPA: 
https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa  which is a 
community driver PPA, generally used by people who want latest drivers done 
before we release them officially.
