--- Comment #8 from Egbert Eich ---
If the option is well hidden there is no point in spending all the effort to
match PCI IDs to the different versions of the the proprietary drivers any more
- people will just not set it and instead pick and install driver packages
themselves. In the end they will have a totally misconfigured system which will
be an additional support burden.
In the mentioned FATE this was already mentioned:
Usecase
[..]
UC4 - On a system with an AMD/nVidia gfx card when I add the proprietary driver
repository I want an easy way to install the packages matching my hardware.
[..]
This never seemed to have been tested, though - result: all our efforts to
simplify the installation of the proprietary drivers and to reduce the chance
for user errors have been voided.
It would make sense to have a per-repo flag if recommended packages shall be
installed or not - with reasonable per-repo defaults.
However the new situation breaks things badly for us.
