My suggestion is that Ubuntu keeps updating the NVIDIA drivers with the
latest released version, even in the stable version of Ubuntu.
The problem with doing this is that once we do it for one
package/driver/program, people will use it as an example to demand that
another package will be upgraded as well.
Apart from that, the driver is tied in with the kernel and X and
updating it means risking stability and security problems, we simply
can't test it enough to make sure that it fits our definition of stable.
This would create a nightmare stability and security-wise, and we
wouldn't be able to put out a stable, dependable platform for our users
to support.
