Firstly, Fedora will work out of the box with nvidia cards using the
free/OSS drivers. They may not yet properly support 3D, but they do
work and give you a graphical interface.
At that point, if you do want the extra 3D glits, installing the
proprietory NVidia drivers is as trivial as this:
As root:
1) rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-7.rpm
2) rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna
3) yum install kmod-nvidia
I almost agree with you. On point 3 you are implicitly assuming that the
users card is new enough to be support by the latest driver release. Not
all are. Livna also support various older versions for these cards, and
so if you need to use these you will need a different kmod.

But if you have a fix for the new cards at least your that much further
along. And we have no data on how well old hardware will work with new
drivers.
