It's already the case with ati, the actual repo offer just off-date driver and 
they just segfault.
Actually each user of 11.3 with fglrx has build the drivers by himself or use 
rpm made by the ati-installer
and they will have to launch the fglrx-kernel-build.sh script on each kernel 
update.

I understand for the nvidia : but it's not too hard to have them rebuild, one 
time for the distribution.
and so the nvidia.ko will be placed in the right lib/module directory
Also a quite numbers of users early adopter of 11.3 have build themselves the 
nvidia drivers.

It's just my advise ( the poor guys who made ati-rpm for user) who say that.
Just do your great job, like the habit you have.
