On the topic of nvidia modules, is there any chance that someone at novell could make rpms for the nvidia repository? It is really nice to have the rpms, otherwise it's more of a hassle to install kernel updates and also keep the xorg.conf stable.
Maybe you should badger nvidia to release the drivers as Free Software for Linux vendors to be able to distribute them legally. After all you are their customers.

That would be nice, obviously. NVidia has never given a hint that they are even contemplating such a move, however, their development process well keeps pace with kernel development. To date, AMD/ATI on the other hand don't seem to make compatible drivers for their not so old products like X1200 and Radeon 9600 which I have on 2 Asus laptops, so on the basis that I need 3D support for those chips, I stay shy of them where I can as it's difficult to know what next they will drop support for.
