There are many ways the situation could be improved for the user. The
best I would hope for would be the inclusion of a configuration for a

livna repo. If that's too much to ask, then a link to the repo from
the fedora project site would be better than nothing. Actually
including the driver or maintaining a stable interface would be too
much to expect here.
Again, Fedora will only include Free and open source software.
Supporting non-free software is any manner is a explicit non-objective.

We all know that the real objective of fedora is to get a lot of users
to do the beta testing on what will be the next RHEL after which they
quickly stop supporting those tested versions and move on. Maybe they
get enough testers without having to be bothered making it convenient
for nvidia, vmware, etc. users.
