Comment # 18 on bug 1161720 from
Takashi,
Since it looks like the patch for this is still in the pipeline for a fix in
5.5, I thought I'd try to get ahead of an issue that will arise there. 

I mentioned before that the only problem I was experiencing with 5.5 was that I
needed to reinstall nvidia/bumblebee. It turns out that the _actual problem_ is
that nvidia drivers will not build on 5.5. There is a patch, but nvidia seems
to be planning to wait until <after v440.44> to implement it. Our bumblebee
driver is currently at 418.113.

So, not much to look forward to in 5.5, I'm afraid.
