Daniel, I understand the frustration, but I think the strongest path is
to keep the report focused on the technical regression.

The core issue is clear enough:

470 being unsupported is one matter.
470 transitioning users toward 535 is another, because 535 does not support 
Kepler hardware.

That makes the package transition misleading for affected users,
regardless of the broader retirement policy.

A reasonable fix does not have to mean supporting 470 forever. It could
simply mean stopping the 470 → 535 transition, or documenting at the
package/update level that Kepler users must choose nouveau, pin 470 at
their own risk, use NVIDIA’s .run installer, or use a community
workaround.

The current behaviour still looks like an upgrade path, but for Kepler
users it is not one.
