There are people that are waiting till it is available, without installing 13.1 till it is. Others are asking, and we can only tell them to wait, or try the hard way (which not all want).
The question I have for them is..'why'? I've not used the proprietary nvidia drivers since openSUSE 12.1 and I don't miss them one bit
It's not like I'm an undemanding user either - I'm running multiple monitors, with a significant amount of 3D acceleration in the form of GNOME 3 and various games on Steam
Yes, I remember the dark days when nouveux was as useless as an inflatable dartboard on a submarine with a sunroof, but things have moved on - Are some of our users stuck in the past, or what specifics are the open source drivers missing that's causing this to be such a major concern for some of our users?
One simple answer... gaming. You cannot play Steam games (most) with the Nouveau driver. Another.. at least up until recently, configuration. It's been historically difficult to configure multiple monitors with Nouveau. Another... performance. Playing full screen video (historically) has been awful with Nouveau.
