Perhaps XFree86 should learn a trick from the Linux kernel -- if you load
a binary module that isn't open source then the kernel becomes "tainted".
In case of a kernel panic it will say that it is tainted -- it is a way to
cut down bugreports/redirect them to the right place.  A kernel panic with
tainted modules loaded is almost never the kernel's fault -- and in any
case the kernel developers don't stand much of a chance for debugging it.

Likewise an XFree86 problem with NVidia's binary drivers is probably not
anything that the XFree86 developers can fix (except for Mark Vojkovich,
of course :) ).
