They will be put back soon into the bleeding/experimental section (and
stay there) for those that want to crash their machines ;)

You have four choices:
o use xorg's nv driver
  + works now, well supported
  - missing features in 3d, xv, xvmc etc)
o use the 4kstacks FC2 kernel and the current nvidia drivers and 
  - make statistics of how often your system goes nirvana (some
    systems don't ever, so that's why the rpms will reappear)
  + if you are lucky you get all the features
o wait for nvidia's next driver supporting k4stacks and kernel 2.6.6.
  + should not crash your box
  - may take some time
  - older drivers as appreciated by the v5l2/PVR/TV-Out community
    will still not work.
o use a kernel w/o 4kstacks with the current drivers.
  + should not crash your box
  - ?
